I recently bought a 1990 M3 and after it sat outside fo awhile, I can't get the hood release to operate. The handle inside moves but the release doesn't work. I had the hood open before, though the release was kind of stiff. I assume it just needs some grease. Anybody have any great ideas on how to open the hood?

external release
there is a hole with a slot reachable with a large flat head screwdriver just beside the front left (drivers side) headlight..
Put screwdriver in, turn, and clunk: the hood pops open.

looking at front of car.. (*) are headlights x is the spot to put the screwdriver
