What It Helps Address

• Parking brake cable stretch or loss of tension
• Broken, frayed, or seized rear parking brake cable
• Uneven parking brake engagement on BMW rear brake systems
• Parking brake lever travel that no longer holds the vehicle securely
• Incorrect cable length or end fitting match during brake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and brake cable routing before ordering. Match the end fittings, overall cable length, and housing length to the original cable, and confirm whether the application uses rear or rear right positioning. On BMW 318i, 318is, 323is, 328i, 328is, M3, 320i, and 325i/325is models, small differences in market or brake configuration can affect fitment, so compare the existing cable to BC95046 before installation.

Quality Assurance
