So the only alternative was to have an ugly camera wart protruding from the boot lid, or hide it behind the roundel.

That's possible - but again why make the 6er the only model with this setup, that precludes a power trunk? Obviously BMW engineered the overall design knowing it did not allow for this feature. And as we all know there have been many threads & comments over the past couple years about this, with I believe the majority either upset/disappointing/surprised/confused as to why a car of this luxury caliber is missing such a basic feature. So I frankly think BMW dropped the ball on this, and always will. And nobody, I mean nobody including the delivery supervisor in Munich that I questioned about this can explain it.
