Luggage compartment lid
The lock
The illustration depicts the luggage
compartment lock of the Z3 roadster
as an example.
The controls and function for the
Z3 coupe, M coupe (open only) and
the M roadster are the same as for
the Z3 roadster.
Only the master keys (refer to page 34 )
will fit in the luggage compartment lock.

Locking separately
(not for the M coupe)
Turn the master key to the right until the
slot is horizontal, then remove the key.
This locks the luggage compartment
and disengages it from the central lock-
ing system. If you then surrender only
the door and ignition key (refer to
page
34 ), access to the vehicle through
the luggage compartment is not possi-
ble (for valet parking, for instance).
Manual operation
(in the event of electrical failure)
Turn the master key in the lock of the
luggage compartment lid to the left to
the stop – the luggage compartment
opens easily.
The luggage compartment is locked
again as soon as it is closed.
To close
The illustration depicts the luggage
compartment lid of the Z3 coupe or
M coupe.
The handle recess in the interior trim
panel of the luggage compartment lid
(arrow) makes it easier to pull the lid
down.
On the Z3 roadster and M roadster, the
handle recess is located to the left of
the lock mechanism.
To avoid injuries, be sure that the
travel path of the luggage com-
partment lid is clear when it is closed,
as with all closing procedures.
