F30 hood misaligned?
Hello! So my bumper and hood hasn't been aligned properly since I bought the car. I thought it was the bumper itself that was the issue. I've tried to fix it but I gave up.
I just came home after installing my new M3 Evo bumper and noticed the exact same misalignment and I'm guessing it must be the hood. What exactly should I change to make it look correct? I'm uploading a picture of my old bumper and also a picture I just took of the new bumper. Thank you! |

Do you know whether this car has a history of some damage?
Only thing i can think of, is that the car had some damage/accident in the past after which the bumper was replaced and the hood 'repaired'. But they just couldn't get the angle/bends/folds (don't know the right English word) of the hood right to align exactly to the bumper. Only solution might be to replace the hood (maybe temporary) to see if this solves the problem. |

You could try, but i'm afraid it won't solve the problem. Just like you said, as you have this problem with two different bumpers that are attached correctly (i assume), problem should be in the hood.
The curve of the hood seems a bit off/incorrect, so i cannot imagine that this can be solved by refitting both parts. |

Also the latches on the hood itself. You can remove the plastic shroud around them and rotate the loops they screw in and out and will allow you to adjust the height of the hood. This is different form the hood stops the hood rests on when closed, just be sure to adjust those proportionally so you don't bind up the latches or damage the stops
