I finally saw an E90 with the folding rear seats and ski bag package. I either missed something, like a not fully implemented feature, or am quite amazed at the lack of design logic with it. The ‘valet key’ that can’t open the trunk is meaningless for keeping the trunk secured. The tray that holds the ski bag is removed from the front, not the trunk. Thus, it’s easy to reach back and fold the seats from within the car, and proceed to unlock the trunk. So much for a secure area where to leave anything of value. Don’t need to be an experienced thief to pick the lock, any rock on the side of the road is sufficient to break a window and get to the trunk. With the cold weather package, the headlight jet streams immediately tell anyone that the trunk is unsecured. If I decide to stop somewhere on the way home from work, and someone sees me move a laptop bag from the front to the trunk, he can pretty much have it if he wants it within 10 sec. Even if I do something to secure the pass through, anyone who knows the standard configuration of the 3-series won't get deterred until after having broken a window. I have a similar beef with the alarm. From a block away, if I don’t see the blinking nose on the mirror, I already know the car isn’t alarmed and an easy prey. Has this always been the case with the previous models?
