Getting this rather annoying message that the trunk/boot is open. The central locking works ok. except that the alarm light flashes when locked at twice the rate for about 10/15 seconds so clearly the car is still seeing the lid as opened when the car is locked.

the latch assembly needs to be lubed! spray some wd/40 in it once the door is open and plenty of it!! the latch is just dry and notletting the linkage open it
SOURCE: Trunk won't open when unlocked via central locking
spray the lock with penetrating oil like WD40 force open remove lock mechanism spray lots of oil force back and forth I used hammer with flat piece of wood in front (metal to metal) you will destroy it once trunk open remove if necessary lubricate until goes in and out freely

There are several suggestions out there on how to retrieve BMW keys from the trunk. Many of the ways I tried failed, and it takes 2 to 3 days to get a new key made up. In the coupe there is the center piece in the back seat that folds down. Then on the back wall there is material that will fold down that is held up with Velcro. Behind that you will find a rubber insulation that is mostly cut and looks like a door, but not all the way. Carefully cut the rubber to remove the piece. Now you will find a metal wall, but there is a large piece that is tack welded on. I got turned around and kicked it with the bottom of my foot and got 3 sides loose. Then a softball bat knocked the final side loose. Pull that out and trash it, the final barrier is the insulation that is held in place with plastic clips that can just be pushed down. After that you can a pretty large hole to work through and get the keys. Just put everything back in place other than the metal plate and you will never know anything was done.

Ok Sorted! one broken wire and two chafed wires in the loom. The loom runs inside the hinge and it gets damaged where it changes direction. A couple of environmental splices and all is now ok.
