Hood issue
I have this issue for a while but been lazy since it doesn't bother me as much. When I close the hood of the car (holding it from the center and dropping it), the passenger side hood doesn't close flush (visible that there there's maybe .25 of an inch or less to go more). Left side (driver side) sits flush upon closing. I always have to go put pressure on the passenger side of the hood (above the head light) for it to close properly. Haven't seen this in any of my other cars. I don't slam the hood but don't close it like a wuss either.
Anyone else have it? I don't think it's a big enough issue for it to go to dealer but just wondering. Thanks

Maybe the bump stops under the hood are out of alignment.

Not sure if it helps, my e93 had same issue. I noticed one of the holding(hood supporting) rubbers came off its mount, fell in the groove where hood meets fender and it was blocking the hood from closing completely. Picked it, put it back to its mount and everything was good.

If you look at the latches, you'll notice they have a small gas strut on them. This allows pressure to be applied to the surface without bending the aluminum. Just below those are the front Pedestrian Protection Actuators.
I have my doubts about the pre-collision activation. I know it exists but I've never had the system give a pedestrian warning in this car or any other BMW Group car equipped with the system for that matter. It loves to give unnecessary low speed braking intervention though. |
