Need Help with Interior Hood Release Cable Issue

Post by oilcooler »

hi group,

the hood release cable broke about a year ago, and i am finally getting around to installing the new cable. my problem is that the new cable looks different than the realoem cable, and i cannot find the cable and parts that i removed...about a year ago. not a good move on my part, i know.

the cable part number 51 23 1 839 767 is the correct part number, but it appears to look different than the realoem cable diagram...and i cannot locate the old cable and parts that i removed. it seems like i just need part #11, right? but realoem has two different #11 parts in their website; "nipple" and "nipple holder".

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpa ... Id=41_0433

does anyone have any photos of the interior cable handle parts?

i want to finally get this hood cable installed. any help is appreciated.

thanks,

marko

I think there is confusion because the OEM image for item 6 actually appears to include part 11 whereas what you have is part 6 only. Hopefully these pics and a short video will show just what I mean.
