My son has a 2019 X3M40I and the fuel door will not unlock when he unlocks the car. The manual startes to take the vehicle to a dealer for repair but all othe BMWs have a green knob on the right hande side in the rear that will unlock the door. His does not. Dose anyone have any work arounds?
Remove the trunk liner on the right side of the trunk. You’ll be able to access the gas door lock.
My son was advised by a BMW mechanic to break the latch. There is no green knob on this vehicle and the manual advises to take it to a dealer as the only option.
check for the details here with the VIN of the car http://bmwfans.info/

Take it to the dealership and let them handle it. Unless you've got over 50k miles (doubtful on a '19), it will be covered under warranty. If you break something and damage it, they may not cover it, or only cover the original failed component.
