Autobahn East has a well-respected shop in Natick:

Landshark is also well respected:

Both specialize in BMW repairs. Good luck.

This is on a E30 correct?

Try spraying some lube on the latch, try to work it free. It is probably stuck open. Check the cable, make sure it is free.

Yeah, it is on my e30. I sprayed the lube last night and left it, and this morning it finally latched. Now i can drive home in the rain with my hood closed. Hopefully it wont pop open when I hit a bump. Thanks for the help and suggestions.
