    E23 Broken hood latch

    How do you manually open 1984 bmw e23 hood from outside? I’ve already removed right kidneys but can find the latch to push like on other old bimmers? I’ve searched online all morning but no results for this model of car.

    The latch is beside the cowl and hinges by the headlights...so you are operating on the wrong end of the hood.

    Sometimes the hood release lever needs to be held back while pulling the hood open
    I make E23 parts.
