Tonight I brought over my 535 and some jumper cables to see if the car would start using the under hood terminal with a disconnected battery. It would not. However, it did fire up the interior lights, and radio etc... My car has a button to pop the trunk, and when pushed I could hear the actuator responding. I did not go so far as to close the trunk and release it again as I still had a bit of trepidation from other posts on this topic, but it seems clear to me that the trunk would pop.
So, unless your car does not have the trunk release button, then you are safe.

This is perfect and what i was hoping would happen. There have been so many post on this issue that something had to give somewhere. So now we know that you have to get jumped by another BMW. (HAHA just kidding)
