How to open the fuel tank door on the BMW

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Fuel cap

The fuel door opening system on BMW vehicles, as well as on Mercedes vehicles, is closely linked to the unlocking of the vehicle's opening, as it is also automated. To open the door and proceed with refueling, we must first unlock the vehicle and then unscrew the cap. If the door does not open, it may be necessary to replace the fuse or check the internal connector, located in the trunk. If the cap does not open, you will need to use an oil-based spray and let it sit for a few minutes before attempting to open it.
