I solved the mystery of getting the cover off. I finally turned one nut to where it broke loose and came off. The problem is the rubber is missing on one bracket and split on two more allowing the upper portion of the bracket to turn quite a ways before taking up the slack in the rubber. I will have to decide whether to make them solid by putting a screw in them or buy new ones. The price will probably be the decider. Now on to trying to locate the outside temperature sensor which does not seem to work. Has anyone had to locate it?

1994 840Ci Black/Black


: Simple sounding task but I am not having much luck. I recently bought a high mileage 1994 840Ci and am in the process of going thru it. One of the back cover release bolts/releases is missing. The other rear release seems to release but the front will not. There appears to be a concentric action as the cover will move some as I turn the nuts thru their easily turned rotation. But no release. I hate to force it. Anyone have the solution?
