Product Details

The Genuine BMW Hood Release Cable (Part Number 51238176595) is an original equipment Bowden cable designed for BMW E39 5-Series vehicles. This cable runs from the interior hood release lever up to the hood latch mechanism, providing the mechanical connection needed to open your vehicle's hood.

Common Failure Point: This hood release cable is a known wear item on E39 5-Series models. Over time, the cable can fray, break, or become stiff due to age, dirt accumulation, and repeated use. Symptoms of a failing cable include a hood that won't open, difficulty pulling the release lever, or a lever that pulls with excessive resistance.

Why Choose Genuine BMW:

  • Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) quality ensures proper fit and function
  • Manufactured to BMW's exact specifications for durability and reliability
  • Direct replacement for worn or broken hood release cables
  • Designed specifically for E39 chassis applications
  • Includes proper grommets and cable routing components

This genuine BMW replacement cable restores full functionality to your hood release system, ensuring you can safely access your engine compartment for routine maintenance and inspections. The cable connects to BMW part number 51238190754 at the hood latch end.

Quick and easy

Ordered a Rampage frameless soft top for my Jeep. Smooth as silk. Price was outstanding. Order was processed and shipped very quickly and top arrived as adverstised. I would certainly do business with Autoplicity again!

Autoplicity is my number one choice for auto parts.
