The instructions in this guide will show us how to open the hood of the BMW X3. First, let's open the driver's side front door and start pulling the hood release lever located at the bottom, next to the pedals; then we move to the front of the vehicle and lift the hood (without further disengaging the latch) by pulling it from the center, supported by the hydraulic struts, as shown in the video.

Once we have completed the various checks, we will close the hood by lowering it gently and finally applying a light pressure.
