Hi, does your trunk have a key slot, maybe try locking it manually.
When the trunk is open and you press the button to open it can you hear the actuator? That could also be the cause of your problems.

And don't get frustrated if people don't respond, they probably busy on Google trying to find a solution for you.
Btw have to tried the search function on the forum. There's loads of information in hear. Wish you all the best bud

Hey bud, I had a similar problem to you. Mine would not open. Try lock your car with a key (Takes quite a lot of force to turn the key, don't be shy). If it locks with a key, it is most likely the wiring on the right side of the boot where it goes from the car into the boot. You will have to open it up there and solder the wires back together. It is a very common issue on e90's.

check your anti-hijack thingy in the boot, it might be pulled out abit.
make sure that its pushed in.

its the yellow handle thing in the middle of the boot on the boot lid.
hope this solves your problem.

good luck!
