Chill out. He just asked a question. Yes its probably true that the OP had tried this, but just something that needed to be asked...

Try unlocking it from the cabin, then push down on your hood right about where the roundel is. Sometimes those latches get caught, and by pushing it down, it actually releases it.

This has happened to me on other cars, but not the E90...
