How do I open the hood on a 2001 BMW X5?
My grandma left me her 2001 BMW X5, but it needs a lot of work. I figured this would be a great project for my husband who is big into repairing cars and loves BMWs. I want to take a peek under the hood, but I can’t figure out how to open it. How can I pop the hood on a 2001 BMW X5?

A good fixer-upper can be the perfect gift for your handy or mechanical loved one; I’m sure your husband will be thrilled! However, it is a good idea to have someone else take a look before you give it away.
- Pulling the handle located in the driver’s footwell.
- Once you do, exit the vehicle and go around to the front of the hood. Feel for the release handle and grab it to open the hood.
- Use the pull-out rod to keep the hood up.
Now that you know how to open the hood, you can inspect the car and see what needs work. Even if the car isn’t ready for the road just yet, you’ll need car insurance if it’s registered.
