In order to close the hood of the BMW 1 Series when it is locked, you need to open the rear hatch by pulling the two cords located on the sides of the trunk: once these two cords have been pulled, it will be possible to unlock the hood mechanism. You will now need to lift the panel at the back of the headrests in order to raise the hood mechanism itself: once this has been pulled forward to the windshield, you will need to secure it with the appropriate screws and finally it will be possible to close the rear panel as well.
