I’ve just picked up a f10 m5 with the comfort access option, there’s a button on the inside of the tail gate that I assume shuts the boot automatically. Mine doesn’t it just makes the latch click?
Is this a fault or does my car not have the self closing option 🤷

If it doesn’t power open and it lifts open easily manually then you don’t have power operation. It could be the lock when closed button you have

Yup; that's just locking, not for closing unfortunately

If you had the powered tailgate, the button would be this one:
