Genuine BMW Hood Cable Latch Mechanism - E39 5 Series - 51238176595

The engine hood release system on E39 5-series models uses 3 separate cables to connect the interior handle to the hood latches. This bowden cable is the first segment, and connects to the interior release handle to the left hood latch cable.

This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 51238176595 (51 23 8 176 595) and is described as Genuine BMW Engine Hood Release cable for the - E39 5 series (1997-2003) and E39 M5 (2000-2003).

This hood latch mechanism includes the interior hood release cable, and is a critical component of the hood's locking / latching system. When it fails, your hood can get stuck closed, or the release handle will be really sticky and at risk of breaking (for good!) This is a brand new Genuine BMW / authentic original BMW part, so you can be assured this hood cable and latch will last just as long as the original one did.
