I have a 2008 e4. Just finished a custom lift. Added 3" height and 1" forward. Now i need to modify the hood hinge to the original body lines. Im also considering a removable hood with pins instead of hinges. Can anyone share info or photos on their hood modifications after lift? TIA
I’m working on the same thing.
I am looking at doing a quick release hood now that I have removed the hinges. I have been under the hood so many times that I have grown to value full access to everything under the front more than a partially tilting hinged hood that was always in the way.
Let me know what you come up with. I was thinking maybe just modify the hinge with a quick release as the pivot. Then install a water proof connector for the front wiring. This way i can just pull it open for quick access or remove completely when doing major repairs.
I drilled & tapped a chunk of 1 1/2" x 1" aluminum, it acts as a nut & washer
Not quite quick release definitely only need one Torx bit on my 1/4" impact to remove or install
