Bimmeration · 12-04-2006, 04:01 PM

looks normal to me.

Mr. Smith · 12-04-2006, 04:15 PM

looks a little off, are you sure you hood is completely closed?

bronco · 12-04-2006, 04:15 PM

go to the dealer lot and compare. That way you will be able to point it to the SA if it is abnormal.

Mr. Smith · 12-04-2006, 05:47 PM

yea, it really looks like you didnt slam your hood, looks like you just gently put it down. dont be afraid to give it a nice push

treublue · 12-04-2006, 05:49 PM

did you fiqure it out yet?

can we point and luagh now? while making ooot ooot ooot sounds. (simpsoms reference)

geoff2010 · 12-04-2006, 06:42 PM

your hood is not closed... open the hood all the way and let it drop hard

this happened when i first got my car and i was like "WTF???" then i realized "I'm and idiot!!!"

Yep...seems like its the hood that is off...not the entire bumper, grills, etc...

wc19 · 12-04-2006, 07:06 PM

took some quick pics with the hood not properly closed and when it is...also i think that the angle of the picture taken made the hood look like it was improperly closed so heres a better picture of them

when its opened

closed

Here are some shots for reference.

Some of your gaps do look a little odd.

Hope this helps

txusa03 · 12-04-2006, 08:19 PM

It's normal dude...

Russellnyc · 12-04-2006, 09:40 PM

In the e36, the hood gap is adjustable by twisting the hood latch pins with a screwdriver and a wrench. If you're adventurous you can probably do this yourself, otherwise, next time you take your car to the dealer, ask them to readjust the gap. I don't have my e92 yet or I'd look, but I am sure this is adjustable.

Carnage · 12-04-2006, 09:49 PM

it's hard to compare it with those other photos. Go to the dealership and take some photos of others at the same angles as the photos of your car then compare.

canucklion · 12-04-2006, 09:52 PM

I think it looks normal

Ray · 12-04-2006, 10:45 PM

Looks fine to me.

But you may want to post some images from a little further away. That perspective may be a little more clear for the rest of us.
