Purpose and Technical Function

The presented hood latch is a component from the Hinges, Latches, and Other Hood Parts group, responsible for the stable closure of the engine hood on the right side. The design is specifically engineered for the BMW F10 series, guaranteeing correct positioning relative to the hood, fenders, and front end, as well as proper interaction with the cables and release mechanism.

Integration with the Active Pedestrian Protection system means the latch works in conjunction with factory safety solutions that can modify the hood's position in specific situations. This maintains compatibility with the original body architecture and vehicle electronics.

Construction and Fit for BMW F10

The component was developed by BMW as part of the hood locking system, taking into account the specific geometry of the F10 front end. The appropriate placement of mounting points and the shape of the catch allow for:

• correct hood guidance during closing,
• stable holding of the hood in the closed position,
• cooperation with the factory release mechanism from the cabin.

Thanks to its dedicated placement on the right side of the vehicle, the latch maintains compliance with factory tolerances, which facilitates gap adjustment and minimizes the risk of improper hood closure.

Condition, Origin, and Service Application

The offered hood latch is an original, used BMW part, sourced from disassembly. This type of component is particularly useful for:

• repairs after front-end collisions,
• replacing a damaged or seized hood latch,
• restoring the full functionality of the Active Pedestrian Protection system.

Using an original part from the same model series helps maintain structural consistency, reduces the need for assembly modifications, and preserves the correct operation of the hood opening and locking mechanism.

Benefits of Using an Original Hood Latch

Choosing the factory hood latch for the BMW F10 with active pedestrian protection offers a range of practical advantages:

• Full compatibility with the body and safety systems – the part is designed to work with the vehicle's front-end structure and the Active Pedestrian Protection system.
• Stable hood closure – the correct geometry of the catch and mounting points promotes even hood seating and reduces the risk of play.
• Easier service installation – its dedicated placement on the right side of the vehicle allows for installation without the need for adaptations or structural modifications.
