spray some penetrating oil on the latches and have someone press down on the hood while you pull the handle. That usually works. If nothing works you might have to sacrifice a grill...
The hood catch is so well inclosed, you won't get the hood open manually. No tricks here. There has to be a release inside the car. If the handle is just missing, and you can get to the release cable, just pull it with a pair of pliers.
If the lights are switched then the switch controls a rely all lights are switched on bmw. Can use fog lights temporarily. Find rely test with continuity meter when on, disconnect lights first, then turn on lights switch, check for 12v at light bulb terms, if 12v then bulbs bad, if not relay is bad, test with continuity meter, rely should read 0 ohms when lights switched on, infinite open circuit when switched off. If lights work in manual switch pos then solar sensor bad.
Maybe you could check with three panel beaters on if the hood can be bent back or maybe they can spot weld onto the hood and pull it out. Like get three quotes and if you are paying for it like not insurance job or not let the panel beaters know when asking for a quote..
