How can I open the hood on a 2018 BMW X3?

I’m borrowing a friend’s car while mine is in the shop, and the windshield wiper fluid ran out. I want to refill it before returning the vehicle, but how do I open the hood of a 2018 BMW X3?

How can I tell where my Honda CRV was made?
I’ve always been curious about cars, so I obviously know that Honda is a Japanese company. However, one of my buddies recently got a job for Honda in the U.S., which piqued my curiosity even further, especially since I own a CRV. Is there any way to tell where my Honda CRV was made?
