Thanks for that vid. It sort of seemed like he was hiding the camera in some fashion, avoiding the faces (except the blonde), etc., so it's likely BMW isn't cool with that video being out there.

After hearing all the discussion about how light and unsupported the hood is, I can understand them not wanting people to be able to open it. Crack the paint (or the hood itself) or tweak one of those hinges or mash it into the bumper...they'd have more than a few unhappy customers. Kind of crazy it takes two knowledgeable people to open it, and then hold it, and then pin it (if they're going to) and then close it. Whoosh.
