How do you open the hood on a BMW X3?

I purchased an older, used BMW a month ago, and when I went to change the oil for the first time, I couldn’t get the hood open! I’ve opened dozens of car hoods, but I have no idea how to open the hood on a BMW X3.

To open the hood on your BMW X3, you should:
  1. Pull the hood release lever on the driver’s side floorboard near the door. The hood will lift a few inches.
  2. Release the hood lever and pull it a second time.
  3. Lift the hood and secure it using the prop rod.
