How to open the fuel tank of the BMW 3 Series

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013

Opening the fuel flap of the BMW 3 Series is a very simple and quick operation to perform independently. You just need to open the vehicle and then press on the flap to open it. If the opening does not occur due to a broken opening system, you can solve the problem by replacing the button. To perform this operation, you will need to open the trunk and remove the side carpet, insert a flat-tip screwdriver into the side hole and open the flap. Remove the spring on the flap and insert the new one. Finally, test the operation of the flap.
