How do I get into my Merc SL's boot?!

I am unable to open the boot-lid on my 1992 Mercedes Benz 300 SL roadster. I have been opening manually on key but lock appears to be broken as key does not catch and runs almost freely from side to side. Any other way to open boot-lid?

Why is my BMW 5 Series hesitating?

I have a 2005 BMW 5 Series Automatic. It hesitates at take-off or low speed when the accelerator is pressed. Then shoots off after a few seconds. It's as if it doesn't know what gear to choose, then drops a gear and flies. Fine in higher gears/speeds. Software reset and filter change has been done.

Thoughts?
