Hood struds? IS that like how the E90 I had to replace the little "shocks" that hold up the hood for you? The rear hood over the engine stayed up, so much so that he couldn't start the engine with it up. The front "bonnet" stayed up as he was showing me the audio gear.
Come to think of it though, the seller WAS a bit pale-skinned, and that quite possibly COULD have been a Russian accent . . .
