That really ticked off the system and the trunk would close about 3" and then freeze. Pressing the button then re-opened it?
Long story short - I was thrilled to get back into my 6-series where I could just close the trunk (seriously, that's not a trunk, it is a small shelf) with a quick pull. No waiting, no fuss.
That mystery button however will lock the doors, which is nice, click that, close the trunk with your hand and walk away.
Count me in with the 3 people who think it is just fine the way it is. Oh and the soft close doors are worthless as well on this car.

Honestly think you trained yourself with the 6 & other cars to shut it by hand. If you simply pressed the trunk button on the 550 it would power itself closed. Spent some time with a MB E350 and loved the power trunk, worked every time. And why are the soft close worthless? I love 'em. Just push/pull the door gently until it latches and it does the rest. Never have to slam a door again.
