“Very disappointing experience. Hatch back with kick open feature randomly hits me on the head while I am moving things around in the trunk space as I move side to side to rearrange items. Am told I would need to spend $250 to de-activate the kick open feature. Called Bmw direct to complain, they said there is nothing the can/will do - it is on me to spend money not to get hurt by the unexpected dropping of the hatch! So much for highly engineered car. …”
