Step1 is pretty normal to all cars I've owned/used before. But is step2 normal for BMW? thanks

Step 1 should be pull the latch from the inside, and then manually release the secondary catch (not the same latch) from the front of the car. Normal.
Step 2 is not normal. It suggests that your latch under the hood is sticking, and requires lubrication.
