There are already numerous threads on this topic - trust me, don't reopen this can of worms (or should I say, can of Joe). But the dealer is correct. The motor that operates the camera roundel occupies the same space as the trunk lid pull-down mechanism (on other vehicles). And you cannot have the power close without the power pull-down.
Of course they could have engineered something different, but that's not how it works in the automotive industry. Not enough sales on the 6 to amortize the cost of a unique system. As it is there are plenty of 6 series specific components for which we pay. They had to draw the line somewhere. I am sure there are technical and packaging requirements that also contributed to the decision.
While it's never really bothered me, I kind of am looking forward to this feature on my M5. It also has the hands free closing.
