00 00... Checking Handbrake Lever Travel, Adjusting According To Setting Specifications If Necessary

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW M3, 2005 BMW M3, 2004 BMW M3, 2003 BMW M3, and 2002 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Checking Parking Brake: 

There must be no braking effect when the 1st tooth is engaged. The differential of the wheel circumferential forces (left/right wheel) must deviate by max. 30 % from the higher value (measured on the roller dynamometer). Make a readjustment in event of larger deviations in wheel circumferential force.

It must be possible to brake with locked wheels with the handbrake.

The hand/parking brake must be readjusted if the actuating travel exceeds 10 teeth.

For subsequent procedure, refer to ADJUSTMENTS .
