34 41... Electromechanical parking brake - emergency release

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW M6, 2017 BMW 650i xDrive, 2017 BMW 650i, 2017 BMW 640i xDrive, and 2017 BMW 640i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Necessary preliminary tasks: 

IMPORTANT: Secure vehicle against rolling, e.g. with chocks.

Using an 7 mm WAF hexagon socket wrench (1), turn back brake caliper spindle in clockwise direction.

Turn back until wheel can turn freely.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn the spindle to the end stop.
At the end stop a fault code is set which will cause the system to shut down.
If this is the case, clear the fault memory
