I'm not quite understanding you. The hood latches in the middle. There is no driver's or passenger's side.

Hood latches in the middle when I pull the leave the hood pops up. Then you go to the middle latch and it opens. But in my case when you pull the lever the passenger side pops and the driver side doesnt

The safety catch is in the middle but hood latches are on left and right.

Ok everyone just a update here:
The hood needed a latch on the driver side all cables where tight also I work for a BMW dealer had one of the MECH look at the car with a fine tooth comb and it came out perfect no leaks might need a new strut and tie rods in a year but other then that had the oil changed it was a bit dirty but other than that oil changes at 7200 miles.. extremely happy to know that I have found a great forum and thank you everyone for your help to my new BMW family.......
