Hi, you have 3 options.
Use either:
1. The key
2. The key fob trunk release button
3. The trunk release button by the drivers side door (car must be unlocked, or the ignition on)

SOURCE: 1998 bmw 528i battery died how to open trunk

You can jump your 98 528i from under your hood. On top of the center of your engine there is a positive (+) sign. You have to pry the cover open and there is also a negative ground spot to the left of that. Bmw is pretty smart!

SOURCE: 1998 BMW 740i driver power seat and tilt not

If your driver's seat and the steering column adjustments are not working, check the switch assembly on the side of the driver's seat. Look at the wiring harness plug. Is it properly and securly plugged in? This is a common problem, the harness plug housing breaks and the plug comes loose.

My 1994 BMW 740i only cranks and never runs.

Have you run the fault codes first as it may not be the fuel pump. Find out what is faulty before you spend good money on what is not faulty.

1998 BMW 740i - I had a brake light out, replaced it, it won't

check where the wires go from the inside of the body to the out around the gromet. I did run into one that the wires rubbed. Also if the light are on the trunk lid check where they go through the trunk latch.
