Fitting the engine compartment hood (BMW 5 Series E34)

Fitted at sides and front

Screw in the left and right buffers completely.



Loosen the bolts of the locking bracket "arrow".

Remove the left and right parts of the front decorative grille.

Loosen the bolts of the left and right hood hinges.



Align the engine compartment hood with the front fenders on the sides and in front.

Adjusting the height of the front engine compartment hood

To do this, slightly screw the locking bracket to the hood and close the hood, while it itself is installed in the desired position. Open the hood again and tighten the bolts securing the locking bracket.



By screwing the locking bracket in and out, adjust the height of the engine compartment hood so that it is located approximately 1 mm below the side walls (front wings).

After this, unscrew the stop buffers so much that the hood closes with a slight tension and is located at the front at the same level as the side walls.

Adjusting the rear guide roller

To do this, loosen the guide roller bolts.

Move the bracket with the roller so that the roller fits perfectly into the latch. Maintain clearance between the side wall and the hood of the engine compartment.





Loosen bolts 1 and 2. Adjust the latch so that when closed, the engine compartment hood is flush with the side wall.
