What is a BMW Parking Brake Cable?

A BMW parking brake cable, or emergency brake, is designed to keep the vehicle stationary when parked on a hill or other inclining surface. This brake is manually operated and allows the tires to lock up, ultimately preventing the vehicle from rolling. Parking brake cables are typically used when parking on an incline, performing maintenance or repairs, while racing, or simply to put the car in a stationary position.

How Do BMW Parking Brake Cables Work?

A BMW parking brake cable is a long rod made out of metal that runs from the emergency brake lever inside of the vehicle to the rear wheels. When the lever is engaged, the cable will cause the rear brakes to squeeze together, creating friction on the drums or rotors of the wheels. This friction will ultimately cause the vehicle to remain in place.

BMW Parking Brake Cable Replacement

When it’s time to replace an aging parking brake cable on a BMW, searching for the correct replacement part can be difficult. Drivers should never settle for a sub-par replica or imitation, as many of those parts won’t adhere to the same stringent standards as genuine OEM parts. At Bimmers.com, we carry only quality parts, ensuring that you can stay on the road.
