I noticed on my 535 the rear corners of the hood do not align with the adjacent metal trim at the base of the windshield. Same poor alignment where the trunk lid is supposed to align with the metal trim above each rear lid hinge. Has anyone adjusted the height of the hood and the trunk lid, at the hinges, so that it aligns with the adjacent body metal?

Thats something that the dealer should correct, I've never noticed body alignment issues on BMWs , It was never in an accident was it ??

Not that I know if. Just got it off the pond in July. I wouldn't mind trying to make the adjustments but werry I might screw something up.
