If only there was an owner's manual where page 32 would say there's a switch in the glove compartment.

Can't he use the release button on the exterior? Built into the trunk-lid handle.

Not sure thought, it seems 318 owners get screwed, all US cars have a release button.

this is true!

Some regions have standard options but if you get a BMW outside the USA and/or Europe everything is optional. This is why you see many BMW 5 series and 7 series as taxi cabs in Europe and Asia.

You think those come equipped like a USA 5er. No.

You start with cloth seats, 4 cylinder, manual everything (even roll up windows bro) and work you way up the option list to get the BMWs that we see here in the USA.
