In this video I show you how to adjust your ebrake on a BMW E90. This process would be similar to all BMWs that come with a handbrake from the factory from the last 15 years or so.
Over time the cables for your e brake stretch and it takes more travel and more effort to get the e brake to engage. This DIY shows you have to adjust them back into spec and make it safer.
A manual car is more likely to have stretched cables but depending on how often you use your hand brake and automatic car could be out of adjustment. I think it's safe to say that after about 10 years the vast majority of BMWs will have their handbrake out of adjustment if it has never been serviced.
In this video I show you how to it properly by disengaging the cables from inside the car. I also show you what the mechanism looks like.
I perform this work on my 2008 BMW 335i.
