Dorman - OE Solutions Hood Release Cable P/N:912-036
A stretched or snapped cable can leave your hood stuck shut, and the Dorman hood release cable 912-464 is built to replace a worn-out or broken original. It is a rear hood release cable assembly and comes with its handle. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci, the 2001-2006 BMW 330Ci and the 2001-2006 BMW M3. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
A hood release cable links the release handle to the hood latch. Pulling the handle draws the cable, which releases the latch so the hood can be opened. If the cable frays, stretches or breaks, or the handle fails, the handle may no longer release the latch. If a failed cable is the cause, this assembly replaces it.
