How do I open the gas tank on a BMW 330i?

My parents sold me their BMW 330i really cheap. As much as I like the car, there’s some stuff about it that I can’t figure out. How do you open the BMW 330i’s gas tank?

Knowing your way around your car’s gas tank is crucial. To open the gas tank on a BMW 330i, all you need to do is press the fuel door. Just make sure your car is unlocked and in park when you attempt it.
As a security measure, it’s not possible to get to your 330i’s gas tank if your car is locked or your vehicle isn’t parked. But, if you’ve unlocked your BMW, put it into park, and the fuel door still won’t open when you press on it, this could signal a mechanical problem that would require assessment by a professional vehicle technician.
There are a lot of mechanisms on your vehicle, and making sure they’re all working properly is super important. Another important piece to car ownership is not overpaying for
