What owners wrote
The rear trunk of the car starts closing by itself. I injured my hand due to such sudden closure. This problem is all over the internet with thousands of customers hitting it and BMW is not acknowledging or fixing the issue.
The tailgate automatically starts closing on me when I am loading or unloading. It starts beeping so I at least get a warning but I have to put my hand up and stop it from crashing on my head. I have told my dealership about this since the first few times it happened, but was told there was nothing wrong with it. Note my feet are not going under the bumper (and that feature does not work on this car ever anyway). This happens when car is stopped and turned off.
