I'm new here, look what I bought

[E30 Cabrio]

Nice start. When he said "so we'll need to yank on the hood release cable", not needed. Take a screwdriver and insert in between the screws on the lock itself (look inside the grills...youll see it) and give it a turn. It should open. Good Luck.

A long flathead screwdriver inserted in the slot in the grill to the left of the driver side headlight and turned clockwise will pop the hood open.

You'll know it when you see it. But ithe slot is about 8-10" behind the grill, so make sure you have a long enough flathead screwdriver. I keep one in my car just in case the hood cable breaks. If I had a good digital camera, I'd take a pic but I don't.
