How do I open the gas tank on a 2006 BMW 325i?
I’m borrowing my aunt’s BMW and I want to fuel up before I return it. I cannot find a gas button anywhere to get into the gas tank. Help! How do I open the gas tank on a 2006 BMW 325i?

There is no lever inside your BMW that will release the fuel door. Instead, you simply need to put the vehicle in Park and then go to the outside of the vehicle.
Press lightly on the fuel door and release. The spring-loaded hinge will unlock and you can grip the side of the fuel door and open it. Then, unscrew the gas cap and proceed to fill up the gas tank.
Gas prices seem to get higher and higher every day. So after filling up at the pump, you might want to find ways to
save money on car expenses
. Although BMWs are expensive to maintain
, you can learn to DIY some of the tasks on a car maintenance schedule
like changing your own oil. Try BMW’s tips for improving fuel economy, too:
- Save your A/C usage for highways
- Accelerate and decelerate smoothly
- Keep your tires filled to the proper psi
- Unload extra gear or luggage
Remember to check your owner’s manual if you have additional questions. It covers everything from opening the gas tank to how to interpret the
dashboard lights
. If you’ve lost yours, you can find a digital version on BMW’s website.View full answer
