Once they found this out they, said this was the reason for the panel gaps around the headlights and fenders etc...
I had my bodyshop take the fenders off etc and re allign which has made a difference.
Im not of the opinion that the hood will pop up at speed but the front end is not aerodynamic and the air has to go somewhere...

It is absurd what BMW service said; all 1Ms are limited "in excess of 155mph", it is not any owner's fault or choice, it is simply a misinformation of the BMW as a manufacturer for whatever reason that they found it necessary to go that way. Mine is limited at 266 km/h (165 mph) according to P3Cars gauge which mimics many other reports from different parts of the World.
You should maybe ask them to point a modern M car which is "actually" limited to 155mph
Totally agree about the aero/front end of the car comment of yours by the way.
