Oh, my gosh, how easy was that! With my 2010 Mini, I have exactly the same problem, but my FOB won't even open the trunk. Just wondering if these are standard size when I buy one? I'm 78 and love doing what I can by myself -- thanks to my dad. Love, love your video!!
I had the same deal with the busted up rubber which eventually fell off. The good news is, my 07 MCS does have a button that I can find easily and get in the trunk. If that little button hops off I’ll do your replacement. Thanks!
Very Cool video, but im trying to save some money... so... 1. other than the BMW Original handle, might there be a diff brand i can buy? 2. is it possible just to replace the rubber?
yes it is possible. I replaced just the rubber. You can find them on line for much less than buying the whole latch piece. Plus if you have a painted latch, the only way you can get them is chrome or unpainted. So there is the added cost of painting.
Last time I had to replace the plastic cover on the trunk handle comes primed from factory so I had to take it to a paint shop to match with color of the body.
Replaced mine cause it stopped working. Really easy todo. I noticed I had water in the boot/trunl door. Managed to get it out but can only think the only way water got in is through the book handle. possibly the screws. Anyone else find this and what was the solution?

Does your key fob still work with the new handle?
Wow wow wow. What’s up with the plate??!! Getting the new G70 BMw?
Is there a latch from the inside of the cooper? My trunk won't open even with the fob. I have a 2017 4 door hatch. Thanks❤
Does it have 2 antennas? I see one on the back passenger fender but what is mounted on the top of the trunk? I have a r59
Brian im getting a leak on the right side of my 328i on the floorboard only on the right side how do i fix that? Do you have a video?
Awesome 👌
Brian my R58 doesn't have trunk release above the lic plate, apparently true of all R58. Drives me nuts! Any way to wire a electric release?
We need you modified the mini Cooper make it so pretty like all your cars
I really wish you guys would expand your shops like in Cali or something I’d rather get my work done by actual professionals

Is there a switch under the rear seat that opens the trunk? 2017 thanks.
Do you know how to find the connector that goes into the new part. I changed the part and it's still not working with the button or the key

Does this car the LED number plate lights?
FYI: There is a gasket that goes between the body and the new part.
What is the part he replacing called?

Easy peasy
4:31 How he says.. We do TUNINGGGGG
Why do I all of a sudden want a Mini Cooper…? 🤔
You can still save some money and do some extra effort to change the switch button under the rubber, it costs me 6-7$ for the button+rubber
Did you just have to glue the rubber cover on? About to do this. thanks
Did you know that R55 trunk is totally different
Looks better not chrome… painted part is nicer
