Re: 1996 328i - Hood Release Cable

I have a 1990 325i. I have the bad luck of experiencing the same problem. A back yard Mechanic told me it would be a very time consuming and tedious job, to re-connect my cable to the latch itself. He said this would involve taking the radiator, amongst other things out. For now I have the bonnet tied down with straps. What was the outcome of your ordeal ??
