You are sitting in your X, playing with the iDrive, waiting for the significant other come out from a store, with hands full of bags... Here she comes, so you press the button on the console and open the gate goes. The significant other drops in the bags, and start walking towards the passenger door, forgetting to press the button to close the gate. As he/she gets in, you realized that now it is YOUR turn to get out and go back to close the gate...

My wife got used to our previous car, where I could both open and close the tailgate with the button on dash.
