Not something I expected to have happen in a $60k+ "luxury" vehicle

Edit to add that I read this thread about the issue before this happened, so proactively got a key cover and it didn't help
Where was the key when this happend?

The water jet of the car wash can cause to trunklid to open. But usually only if the key is outside the car close to the trunk.

Due to this the key should be placed in the key molding in the center console during a carwash.

I hve my X3 now for 17 month, use the BMW key cover and my trunk never opened without reason.
Hmm will try that next time
