Checking Parking Brake

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW 330Ci, 2006 BMW 325Ci, 2005 BMW 325xi, 2005 BMW 325i, and 2005 BMW 325Ci. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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:

For 2001 model year, refer to PARKING BRAKE .
