Video tutorial

In this video tutorial we will see the instructions that will allow us to open the engine hood of the BMW 3 Series, in simple steps. First of all, we open the front door of the car and start pulling the lever that we find at the bottom on the driver's side, thus releasing the engine hood lock; then we move to the front and release the latch that we find between the engine hood and the bumper, as shown in the video.

At this point, we lift the engine hood held by the hydraulic pistons or fix the rod; we lower the engine hood again until the lock clicks.
