Hood release latch
Hey guys
My hood release cable seems to have come off the plastic handle/trigger. Any insight into removing that panel next to dead pedal? Or worse case how to undo latch near kidney grille. Thx

It's pretty easy, I had all those panels off the other day when I was doing my v1 wheel install. $8 panel if you screw up, so no real worries there.

No problem. Sorry if it was a little vague, all off the top of my head from a few months ago.

Turned out to be an issue with the platic box in near the headlight as per the thead I referenced. That whole box needs to be metallic, otherwise the cable breaks through the plastic & changes the release point of the hood

The OEM Halogens are disgusting, and really take away from the overall exterior appearance. When I got the car, the guy included those headlights I had shown before, but wanted to get something a bit "nicer", but like you said, the market seems to be pretty limited. I've been debating putting the set I was given in for the time being..., but I've also heard of people sending assemblies to OSS and having them revamp the design (but I'm sure theres a generous cost that goes along with that as well).

x2. Coming from my Rsx, I was a bit concerned with BMW maintenance, but after reading everyones love for the 128 here, I went and got mine within a day of deciding I wanted one. Theres a lot of great information here, and a lot of members that have quality input (compared to some other forums I am active on). I appreciate everyones help so far!

I do have one other question; It seems when I have the A/C on (sometimes it does this with it off as well), and I am sitting at a red light I will feel the RPM spike about 100 and the car will jerk. I assume this is some kind of misfire, but I don't understand why it only happens at a light. When I turn the car on, sometimes I will hear a little "pop" come from the exhaust if this is a clue to anything specific.

Sorry but I did not write this as a negative comment. It was a positive comment about the video and your diving ability. I enjoyed the video and thought how I would NOT be able to maneuver those curves with traffic gaining on me and still concentrating on the driving.
Sorry about the confusion. |

I see that I was really mistaken by the video. I see now that it was by kobeballer96. I am 71 and sometimes the power of this little rocket overwhelms me. I can feel the rear tires slipping and sliding at times. But I sure do enjoy the ride.

Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed the ride. At my age, 71, I know that I would not be able to hold the track around those curves while cars were gaining and passing. Great job.
