Video tutorial

To open the bonnet of the BMW, pull the lever located near the brake pedal twice, marked with a bonnet symbol. Release the bonnet.

There are no latches holding the bonnet; simply lift it. Locate the positive and negative terminals for connecting cables in case of emergency. The positive terminal is marked by a large red cap with a "+" printed on it; you can't miss it. Connect the positive cable here.

The negative terminal is located on the right front wing and has no cap; it is a silver bolt. Just take the cable and connect it. Very simple.
