Is your BMW telling you the hood is open and beeping annoyingly while you drive even when its fully latched? Recently installed a carbon fiber hood and experiencing this issue? Regardless, if you're confident your hood is properly latched and you're still getting this warning this fix is for you!

I will say the easiest way to fix this is most likely to just replace the latch which can be found at OEM BMW sites for under $100. I can't confirm this will fix it but it appears that the sensor/micro switch was irreparably damaged on my car and was no longer working.

If you're in a time crunch, or simply don't care to replace the micro switch this fix will work for you and it's easy to do. You need a 7.5K resistor that you run through the sensor. If you want to make it permanent, do something similar as shown in the video.

Let me know in the comments if you've experienced this issue and if this fix works for you!
