Gap between hood and grills

Name:  image.jpg
Views: 640
Size:  72.4 KBIt's probably more noticeable on lighter color, but does this bug anyone else? It looks like the hood is not latched but is. Hood is level with top of fenders. it looks as though its just the way the parts are formed.

I noticed the same but only when up close to hood ('Bonnet' in the UK)

I had a similar problem with mine, the bonnet (hood) had a slight overhang over the grille. I booked it into the BMW bodyshop at my supplying dealer and they adjusted it for me and its now a good fit.

That looks like mine also. Doesn't bother me as it's hardly noticeable.

V8r8 I had exactly the same on mine and I fixed it myself. A very simple 10 minute job.
