Is it possible to prevent accidental opening of the tailgate on my G01 X340i. Parked the !Removed! thing fairly close to wall yesterday and whilst getting out of the car I must have squeezed the fob and the wretched tailgate began to open. Thankfully it ddidn't do any damage.

Morning John

Welcome to the Forum

Seems that was a close call !! 

Nothing in settings or the handbook that helps? If you do disable it the next time you want to open it you will curse though

Hi. Yes it was close. A few years ago I had an X335D and I was taking some stuff to the waste site

 On the way out there used to be a height restriction bar and as I was just going under it the !Removed! boot opened. It hit the bar but didn't damage the paint but it did put a very small crease in the boot just below the rear wiper. Again I must have moved slightly and squeezed the fob.

      2016 x6 3.0d. 70k miles

      Hi Paul Welcome to the Forum BMW in their wisdom !! Moved the timing chain to the rear of the engine so it's an engine out job if there are any timing chain problems. Having said that if the car has a solid history plus any evidence of interim oil changes you should be fine. I am personally not a fan of extended service periods so my 3.0d X5 (same engine and trans) gets an oil and filter change every year regardless of miles covered (current 133k) or what the service schdule says Hope its what your looking for if it is ENJOY Dave

      Thinking of buying one of these, any problems to look out for, do they have timing chain issues, thanks

      My son is getting creative

      How's the rebuild going Stu I am having a garage clear up while your enjoying the sun swapping bits on your car 😅 I have quite a few E53 bits if they are of interest from FSR to a 17" spare wheel (never been used) to a full set of 20" Type 87 wheels and tyres. I will send a list if its of interest Dave
