If you do your own work, be sure to lube your hinges on a regular basis.

I recently got a '92 245, and the third time I opened the hood the left side hinge broke.

It seems that one of the pivots seized up, and one part of the hinge was bending instead of working properly.

It was a pain in the neck, including removal of the hood, and both hinges so that I could close the hood while the broken part was replaced.

Go to brickPix, Stand by - to see another broken hood - not mine, but mine looked just like this!
