For some reason, which pisses me off, there is a gap where the hood meets the bumper. The alignment is perfect on the sides, it's just the center which is off.

Suggestions?

2011 Msport if that helps.

Spacers is one answer I heard, but anyone have any direct experience/suggestions?

My e92 had the same issue , I remember reading somewhere on the forum that people suggested popping open the hood and stare atop of the front bumper , there will be a couple screws you can loosen to adjust the height horizontal and vertical for the bumper. Not 100% sure

There are 4 torx under the hood. You can remove the outer 2 and slide washers under bumper flap to close gap. The issue then is the bumper not lining up with the top of headlight. The middle 2 torx should be untouched as this can make access to hood latch more difficult. I would make sure to use stainless steel or aluminium washers. That area does see water.

All the way down, as low as they can go.

I'm slow, so remove the torx, add washers under them, then add the torx back - right? And leave the center torx alone, right?

Anyone?

Yup. Remove, place washers between rad support and bumper, reinstall torx. The hole the torx goes through is pretty big to allow side to side, and front to back adjustments. Just not up and down. Hence the washers or some other spacer.
