Have a 2011 318d M Sport - been a great, fun little car... not my main vehicle any more but I dont want to scrap it.
Anyway - have a few issues with the car that need sorted maybe some that make it non-viable (financially) to repair... but I wont know as I cant get it round to my mechanic. As it has sat, not being used, with - it seems - a weak battery anyway the battery wouldn't start it....
So after a veritable battle to remove the bugger from the boot, I had it on trickle-charge in my hall (live in an upstairs maisonette with limited parking - charging it in situ outside wasn't an option).
Now I didn't think this would be an issue - but some others that have done this may already know what is coming next....
I cant get back into the boot to replace the battery - there doesnt seem to be any readily apparent manual means of opening the boot.
Or have i missed something obvious and I need to go and sit on the dumbass step... ? The manual/handbook is, of course, in the sodding boot....
