I had fun with a dirty trunk cylinder on my first E32 many years ago. This led to a key being stuck in the cylinder, but opening worked fine. I do not know how the dealership repaired it...they did not replace it and it worked fine afterwards.
Do you have the nice feature of a trunk lid puller device ("Softclose") on your car? That one may have gone crazy.
Maybe a good bang against the plate holder area releases something that got stuck, as the lock is mounted there that may give it a pleasing shake.
