How does the trunk open?
Don't the tail lights get in the way?
I can't visualize it -- the trunk opening between the tail lights are narrow and the lid closest to the bumper is much wider. |

Obviously, it's just swings out.
If you look at the trunk & taillights of the Scion FR-S, you see a somewhat similar situation. If the trunk went straight up (90 degrees), the shape of the taillights (like on the 2-series) would indeed interfere with it opening. However, it doesn't open straight up. It swings open and closed on an axis. Here's a (silly) video that features the Scion's trunk. |

Got it, thanks.
I saw that picture earlier in the week, but it didn't click until you explained it. Was hoping it didn't have a tiny little clearance from the top only, like a Miata. The video is helpful too. Now, only thing left to wonder about is the steering... |

Yah.
The underside of lip of the lid just above the license plate has a rubber oval "button" (just like on my 1-series and X1). Press that and the lid pops open.
