bimmerNJ wroteThis was a problem early into ownership my last x5, brand new at the time 2020 m50i. Tried to get it fixed when I brought it for service. They claimed they fixed it but tge problem persisted. Just gave up sad to say.Hi, I have 2021 X5 40i and my car’s lower trunk lift gate is not closing when close button is pushed.
Strangely it can be opened automatically but wouldn’t close. When close button is pressed, lower lift gate “flicks” (like it initiates automaatic close) but immediately stops and would not go up However, with a gentle nudge, it goes up.
I’ve noticed one of side rod attaced to the lowe lift gate is kind of wobbly and wonder that would be the issue.
Anybody had similar issue? Would love to learn how it can be fixed…

bimmerNJ wrotePretty much yeah. But we used our car maybe 2-3x a week, opened the trunk maybe 50% of the time. If I had to lug shit or a stroller each time 5-7x a week id be unreasonably angry is my guessSo you just used it and close it manually?
bimmerNJ wroteBimmernj, you have 2 tailgate buttons, one in the top tailgate and one on the bottom. Does the lower portion close when you use the upper button on the upper tailgate?Hi, I have 2021 X5 40i and my car’s lower trunk lift gate is not closing when close button is pushed.

If you have both open and you press the upper button to close, the bottom will start to close first followed by the top.
