If it's anything like the 535d and there are no visible fasteners, it just pulls off.
It's located and secured by spigots moulded into the underside of the cover, which seat into rubber grommets on top of the engine.
Have a really good look for any screws and, if you can't find any, give it firm and steady pull, whilst moving it from side to side and front to back.
