Yet again another BMW product has suddenly presented me with this problem, I’m being stalked, from e36, e70 x5 and now Mini R60 hood is stuck closed. Interior latch went slack and neither latch responded, vice grip and pliers pull doesn’t work. Some online forums suggest a long flat head or pry bar from under the car but I didn’t want to have to attempt that. Access is easier from the driver side headlight with a thin strong wire to grab the dual cable hood release and pull hard, driver side popped open first, had to grab the passenger side cable by isolating the wire to catch it at the splitter and pull hard again. You will be rewarded with a satisfying pop. Buy new cables and locks, lube, test and that’s job done.
