Let's see in this video how to open the fuel door on a BMW X5: it's one of those doors that often confuses American drivers because it looks too simple, and they find it hard to believe that it opens without locks, levers, or central locking mechanisms.

In fact, there's no need for any of that; we simply have to open the car door and get out of the vehicle.

In this case, it's a right-hand drive, so the fuel door is on the driver's side. However, it is still on the right side: just press on the left side of the door for it to open, and the cap simply pops off.
