No one is really gonna be seeing those kinds of speeds - except for maybe a few car nuts over here. Like me. And my hood has been holding up just fine above 280 kph on my "tuned" 135i.
My car is de-ristricted and after a long drive on the autobahn at speeds of 180+mph the front end is looking sorry for itself.
The front wings have been bent out slightly and i can fit my finger in the gap between the top of the lights and the shut line where the wings meet.
atleast the bonnet (hood) stayed down i guess..
