Detailed Description

This Dorman parking brake cable, part number C94501, is built for direct replacement on specific BMW 325i, 318i, M3, 325e, and 325es rear parking brake locations. It is designed to restore proper parking brake cable operation where the original cable has stretched, seized, or corroded. The rubber outer sleeve and corrosion-resistant construction help protect the cable in demanding underbody conditions, while the specific-fit design supports correct routing and installation on the intended vehicle applications. This part cross-references BMW OE-style part number 34411158423 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Solve

  • Parking brake cable binding or sticking at the rear wheels
  • Loss of parking brake hold caused by cable stretch or wear
  • Corrosion-related cable damage from road moisture and debris
  • Uneven parking brake engagement on the left or right rear side
  • Improper cable routing after replacement of worn brake hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left or rear right position before installation, since this cable is listed for both sides on the covered BMW applications. Confirm cable length and routing points against the original part before final assembly. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or replace related hardware as needed during service. For best results, inspect the parking brake lever, equalizer, and rear brake hardware for wear before installing the new cable.

Quality Assurance

Dorman engineers and tests this parking brake cable to match original equipment fit, function, and performance on the listed vehicles. The corrosion-resistant construction and durable materials are selected to support dependable operation in rear brake service.
