WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 BMW Z3 and 2001 BMW Z3. 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 . .
