Went to BMW to get a few bits and managed to get a print out of my car, showing me what it came with when new, paintwork, tints, trim etc

And to my surprise it said electric hood! The car is manual now, but i wanted to how to tell if it was electric. Where is the button in the cab to lower/raise the hood?

Thank you

Horseshoe is the u shaped lid that lifts
Up for you to put the hood away.
