How to refuel a BMW

Model: BMW X5 G05, G18 - Years 2019-2026
Part: Fuel cap

The fuel filler cap of a BMW - in this case an X5 - is located on the driver's side, and to access it the engine must be turned off and the car must be unlocked. The fuel filler cap opens by gently pressing on the top left edge of the cap, then releasing and opening it. Inside, we find the cap that must be turned counterclockwise, and that can be placed on the appropriate support located in the inner corner of the cap, so that it remains visible and does not get lost. Once refueling is complete, we put the cap back in place by turning it clockwise until we hear a "click" and close the fuel filler cap with a light pressure.
