X1 kick to open
I can confirm it's present and it works well. There was a question whether it'd be there, or just a power lift gate that opened only manually. But this was a very pleasant surprise when I took delivery yesterday. Didn't make up for the wrong trim though.

is there some setting that needs to be turned on? (they did try pretty hard but didn't find it in the menus) Thanks! |

Correct, dealer Demos or the Launch Supply vehicles were built without it.
Check your Vehicle Inquiry Report for option: 32X Delete hands-free tailgate operation. If you have that, then you do not get the kick to open. |

thanks! PSA: don't keep trying to "kick" it open when there's nothing to sense the kicking motion.... you may fall backwards like the salesperson who landed on his [rear end]. while it may have been funny at the time, I just realized how dangerous that can be on a hard surface, especially in winter. |

This is the answer. The HEA vehicles that came from very early production and went to dealers as demo units have 32X, the contactless tailgate removal, even through they have Comfort Access. Newer production units aren’t affected by this.

Some early cars (like mine) were built without it. My build sheet had an option on it (can’t remember the code) but it was something like foot operated tailgate delete. Sales person made sure to point that out to me. It was due to a lack of parts. Not sure if they are through that yet or not.

I'm somewhat ambivalent about this, as I've had bad experiences with mine on my f32 4 series and it opening up randomly, but I'm also happy I shouldn't be having anything deleted on my new car lol. I'd be much more happy with Siri integration so I can just tell my watch to open the hatch as I'm approaching.
