Once I got the trunk opened I discovered that, fortunately, the storage compartment was not damaged and it snapped back into place perfectly.
I don't know if the result would be any different if you have a different model year (mine is 2014) or if you have a different pass through option installed. In any case, I wish you the best of luck!

You just smashed it somewhere in the middle or did you 'aim' for the attachment points?
I have a 2010 model with storage compartment as well. Honoustly I'm not sure if it has a ski-pass through. Only had the car for 4 days before I put it in storage and was too mesmerised by the drive I guess to notice! And I'm not near my car now to check. Would that make any difference anyway? I can imagine that the hatch could only be opened from the trunk, following BMW trunk-access logic...?
Thnx for your help. Still can't believe the stupidity of the situation.
