Is this hood uneven?

spicytofu · 06-06-2012, 05:58 PM

Didnt pay attention until now, it looks uneven. Closing it hard (ouch) still doesnt make a difference. Any suggestions? Maybe the hood stops need to be adjusted but when I push down, it springs back up.

Yeah the right side doesn't look flush with the fender

SilverII · 06-07-2012, 01:37 PM

yup

Fender and light optic are also not assembled correctly. Has the car been in an accident ?

There are adjustment rubber things on the hood.

How do you adjust this? Turn the rubber thing left & right??

That's technically the left. See mechanic at BMW, there's no way that's your fault
