I twist it counterclockwise to misalign the arrows but then it doesn't want to move anymore nor can I pull it straight up. Any help is appreciated as the manual is useless.
I'm new to BMW so forgive me for any ignorance I may be showing. And yes, I did Google this but came up empty handed - not one video or instruction on how to remove that cap.
Thanks...

Btw, I have a 2018 540i, bought with 4900 miles CPO, now has about 8500 miles..
the right side reservoir cap is hard to open. i had to put a towel over it and twist it as hard as i could and it finally opened. use more force or get someone who is stronger to open it. it will open, i just had to add more coolant this morning.
