Originally posted by Mr. Anderson View PostI doubt their cheif concern was getting the hood open properly.
it would take far less force to break the plastic rollers at the back, than to pry/cut the hood open
I have seen alot of e30's/other clamshell bmw's at junkyards burned, and they have pry marks at the front, then someone was smart enough to pry the right way

I was on a car fire involving a brand new X5 last year and we ended up using the K-saw to make cuts at both hood latches, and that hood opens from the front.
With American cars its not an issue to pop the latch with a pry bar or halligan. European cars on the other hand, just grab the saw and start cutting...Originally posted by Simon SWhen a dream is a dream for too long - it becomes a fantasy..
