How to open hood 2003 bmw325 - 1993 BMW 3 Series

You can try going up from the bottom behind the bumper cover, otherwise you may have to get a body shop to remove the front cover to get access to the latch.

Under the dashboard, just next to the restpad for your left foot (or the right foot if your car has the steeringwheel on the right side).

of course, just release the spring clips under the seat cushion and the remove the two bolts from the backrest.

hello there

There is no manual overide. You need to press against the glass from the inside and the outside and push it up whilst getting someone to operate the button. This will get the window up.

Hope this helps and please don't forget to rate me.

Many Thanks

get a pair of pliers and pull the wire behind the hood release latch

THE CABLE HAS STRETHED OR AN HOOD CABLE NEEDS ADJUSTMENT OR HAVE AN ASSISTANT PUSH DOWN THE HOOD AND PULL UP LATCH AND SHOULD BE OK

cable is a little worn,but what you can do is open the hood.on each side or the core support,its the long piece that is above the radiator are 2 black rubber hood stops,you can try bringing them up a little at a time(3/4-1 turn)equally as this will put more pressure on the hood and should pop right open.It may take mor ore less than the turns I said,also lube the hood latch with some good lube not WD-40 hope it works have a good day DB

Sometimes it appears nothing happens but after pulling the hood get out and try reaching under the hood for the latch. However if nothing at all happened you need someone to press down lightly on the hood as you pull the cord.

You will need 2 people to get the hood open. While you pull on the hood release cable have an assistant gently pound on the center of the hood until it pops up. If this does not work, inspect the hood release lever to see if the pivot broken, if so pull directly on the cable with a pair of locking pliers. After you get the hood open make sure to spray the latch with penetrating oil (WD40)
