Where is the fuel tank cap switch on the BMW 320
2 Answers
On the fuel tank cap located at the lower left side of the driver's seat, below is detailed information about it: 1. Body dimensions: The standard wheelbase version measures 4719*1827*1459mm with a wheelbase of 2851mm, while the long wheelbase version measures 4829*1827*1463mm with a wheelbase of 2961mm. 2. Configuration: The standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 10.25-inch central control display add significant technological appeal to the interior. Extensive soft leather wrapping and piano black lacquer decorations make the interior very premium.
I've been driving a BMW 320 for several years, and the fuel tank cap switch is quite straightforward. On most BMW 3 Series cars, including the 320, there isn't a dedicated external switch at all. You simply unlock the car with the key, and the fuel tank cap automatically unlocks. When refueling, just walk over, grab the cap, and pull to open it. It's especially convenient. Sometimes beginners may spend a long time looking for the switch, but BMW's design is smart—all parts are released when the car is unlocked. If it occasionally doesn't open, it might be because the car isn't properly unlocked or there's a minor electronic glitch, like a wiring issue. In such cases, check the unlock button or try restarting the car. Overall, the system eliminates the hassle of searching for a switch, making refueling much faster. Remember to operate it in the unlocked state for safety and peace of mind.
