Seriously NOT trying to rub salt in that wound but diesel is even cheaper....

You don't happen to have a spare tanker ship do you?

Replaced hood struts. I think this was the first time since new, maybe second. I would say I am on the high side of having the hood open. Nice to have a repair that requires no tools, don't have to remove anything in the way and takes a few minutes to complete.

Amen, rare on a BMW. Plus, it's an indescribable peace that washes over you when you lean your head over the engine bay and don't have to worry about it being guillotined.

Brand is Beneges. They are strong enough to lift the hood from less than halfway up. I also like the white printing on the side, looks high performance. I have had no past experience with them
