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..
That should be the way to open it; maybe try pushing down and turning? Could have some interlock like a medication bottle.
