    Do you have experience in opening 2006 Bmw E92 335i bonnets? Or do you know anybody that does?
    When I pull the cable from inside the car the bonnet doesn't open. I think the cable has disengaged.
    I know from watching videos that a thin metal angled rod is the easiest & quickest method for opening the latch from outside the car.
    I want someone that has done this job before though as it's tricky.

    Are you sure that the cable has disengaged? I mean, when you pull on the lever, do you feel spring tension on the lever or does it move freely? If you feel spring tension, try this. Have someone push down on the hood (bonnet) while you pull on the lever. After you pull on the lever, keep it held up and then have the person pushing down on the hood then try to lift it.
