HOW TO OPEN A STUCK OR JAMMED HOOD / BMW 

This helped me out thanx man but that pointy finger omg I’m dead 😂

That finger is on point...🤣

Thank you sir. It is hard to know what you're looking for when your hood is locked shut so I appreciate the simple but super helpful vid.

Thanks man dear God I wish all vids were straight to the point and articulate like this. No nonsense and calm thanks for sharing. My sons latch broke at the release after continual trouble with the passenger side...confirmed my suspicions -cable stretch on the main cable after wear/corrosion of the latch

Thank you soo much, you don't even know the headache and stress you saved me from.

thank you for making this possible for the ordinary guy.

Thank you this helped a lot.

You helped me out of trouble, than you so so much, God bless you.

Just about to attempt this on my daughter's Quality German Car 😬Love the little pointy hand 🤣😎 Hi from Belfast Northern Ireland 😎

Worked like a charm!

i want to watch more of your videos just for the pointer. I need one of these!!

Thanks for the info man!!!!!! I was able to fix it

Had me dead when the pointer came out ahhahaha

I couldn’t stop laughing Bc of the pointy finger but thanks for the advice

Good stuff 👍🏿👍🏿

Thanks ..saved me a headache

Thank you!

So helpful, but if i break the hood button thing can i still get it open??

Damn this just happen to me today, I’ll give it a try tomorrow

Thanks bro

I swear the e60s and e9x are notorious for this 😅😅😅 Both my e60s had this issue and now my e92 has this issue

Worked great, thank you. Mine was on passenger side and cable was loose near release lever. I was able to lift right side of hood and pull on cable.

you can use something to wedge the driver side enough to grab that cable... once you get the cable use a metal coat hanger, wrap around the passenger cable and then wrap that coat hanger around a screw driver or something to give u pulling leverage. give it a yank and the hood will open ask me how i know... after watching countless videos and giving up 10+ times in my garage lol

My passenger side wouldn’t release… Thanks for the bud I’m gonna give it a try tomarrow

My release broke and i pulled the pulley with pliers and it's loose now and my hood is closed shut

I thought I was only one that got a laugh off of that finger

I’m currently experiencing this issue, went through the wheel well, pulled on the cables, nothing. Took apart the pull handle in the interior, nothing. Any other alternatives?? One of the cables has some slack, assuming it’s the passenger side like you suggested. Help😩

2002 bmw series 3 325i sedan 4d the hood stuck not opening any solutions how to fix it anyone

I cut though my hood with a recip saw and angle grinder

I thought I had an alignment issue with mine especially after watching videos on here , after some messing around under the bonnet (UK👍) I found that the catch on drivers side (RH druve) wasn't working Correctly so the bonnet wasn't closing down on that side , I've greased it up but think it's just too far gone, are they easy to replace? Cheers

Do you know why my hood won't open electrically 2010 120i convertable Trev in sunny cape Town south africa

My passenger side lock is jammed. Do you just pull on the driver side black wire?

In this case, the problem is that the hood won't pop at all with the lever on left bottom at the driver? Or it does pop but then the lever at the middle of the hood is stuck? Because I have the second problem. 🤔

Is it same on bmw f10?

I took the crumbling plastic by hood release 1999 bmw 528i.. I got to the frayed broke cable but pulled on it with pliers.. and nothing.. took grill out.. pulled on top wire.. nothing.. working on it for 2 days.. nothing..

Typical german over engineering. every car i've ever worked on uses just one latch and cable and ofc the germans need TWO!!!

How much would this cost be to get fixed by a mechanic?

Will this work with f10?

Mine is stuck on the driver side, every video I’ve watched is the direct opposite of mine

Been trying to get my hood up for days now , these mechanics are slamming it down on purpose 🤬 These mechanics get on my last nerve

bigger issue than you might imagine

Seriously screw BMW, they make beautiful cars but are absurdly over complicated and you have shit like this happen and all us owners are chumps, why is something like this allowed to even happen on a $50k+ car. I had an E92 for two years and spend an insane amount of money fixing issues that never should have been there in the first place. Although I kinda respect BMW for ripping off clueless rich people, if you buy one of these cars new you kinda deserve it the regular trips to the dealership you’ll have to make. Unless you have the value of the car saved away just for maintenance costs, stay away. I think BMW will be successful in their crusade against user repairs in the future and fixing their self-fabricated problems like this one will become a crime. Hey German engineering amirite?
