How do you open the front hood of a BMW X5 G05?

Model: BMW X5 G05, G18 - Years 2019-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see how to open the front hood of a BMW X5 G05; it is certainly a simple operation, but it has some peculiarities that still distinguish it from many other cars. The lever to open the hood is in the classic position, in the driver's footwell, but it must be activated not once, but twice. If you are used to the single action, the hood will not open and you will immediately think there is a malfunction. Then we will have to go to the front of the car and put our hand under the slight opening that we have generated with the lever. Now we lift the hood: we do not need any rod, because the hood has a pneumatic support.
