Thank you for that info! Brilliant Post, Iv always felt my 1M lacked a better seat and the highlight on the seatbelt just brings it bang up to date with current cars.
I replaced the steeringwheel on my car the previous weekend and had the battery disconnected, luckily i always have this habit of folding down the seat , if I hadnt, i wouldve been in trouble because, yeah I closed the bootlid.
Found the below post while trolling for an answer, I hope us 1series guys can apply the same logic. In short, the guy basically traced down the harness that operates the solenoid in the boot and was able to pop the bootlid by giving it some power. I found that was extremely helpful in scenarios like mine, where the battery was disconnected and the charging pins in the front of the car wouldnt help.
