- How to repair the electronic handbrake on a BMW (E65) - step by step
What happens if it does not work after pressing the button three times?
I've seen a few of this gentlemen's videos for fixing things like this and another video for the Guibo fix. These are top notch and kudos to him for being so precise and clear.
I followed your video step by step and after replacing that gear it works like a dream! Your the man!! Many thanks!
Best explanation of how the system works, awesome video dude, thanks a million.
Excellent guide, followed this to a tee and had my e66 one sorted! Thanks for taking the time to make this mate
What a thorough repair video- thanks so much for going to all the trouble and commentary. I was able to follow the steps and replace the busted actuator gear sprocket on my '03 745Li and the brake performs flawlessly. Got the replacement all-metal actuator off Amazon, next day delivery- unbelievable! I did re-use the red tab on the new actuator. One side effect took a little time to settle out- the car would shift into Park fine but the dash indicator would show N for Neutral. On the forums it seems this is cleared by adjusting the parking brake. But in my case it seems to have resolved the issue itself as it's reverted to displaying P when I shift into Park.
Which one on amazon did you purchase I purchase one and it did not work and the red tab was to small for the new one.
Excellent video - I have the same problem with my 2008 750i - thanks for the information
Good work, good record. Thank you.
Btw : for those that have their brakes stuck engaged you can release the parking brake by taking the cover off , there is a small Allen key way to manually release the parking brake I believe it’s an 8mm. Turn counter clockwise, Once you start turning you will see the cars parking brake start to release
The Locking clip and triangle clip won’t remove notice brake still engages even when release parking brake in truck and under Dashboard what’s the problem?
Sehr gut erklärt im Video wie die Fest stell Bremse funktioniert ,von mir ganz klar Daumen hoch.
You guys are soooo lucky, My car happened to have a whole FKA rear AC unit with a fridge on top of the E-brake module, can't lift it what so ever to do this job.
Great video thank you so much
best video. very clear.
Thank you.
Many thanks
Good video. Danke!
Nicely done
Thank you
Why do I get excited when I hear an SA accent :"D
At 3:30… the broken gear attached to my shaft is not moving. It’s locked in place and I’m not sure how to get it to move in order to unscrew it
Good video
How do you remove the bowdens from this box?
Mine's snapped at the rear-right wheel hub so i need to replace it. (Both bowdens.)
I have a program to reset the parking brake but I don't know how to initialize. What are the steps with the same tool that you have?
good man
Did you release the brake cables while doing this ?
what is the name of that part and can we buy it here in the states i need one like asap
What is the little red clip and where can it be brought?
Can you give me the link to were you purchased that gear I have a 2004 745i and need that part
Thanks for the Vids. Do you have a workshop around Gauteng? I have a e65 full of faults.
thank you. No i dont have a workshop, just share what i do so others can do it too.
Does this work for e66 i have parking brake malfunction the whole car is shaking

The two locking tabs for gear hard to release even when release Park brake
Yes mine are completely stuck what did you end up doing?
Arnold Schwarzenegger repairing a BMW! :P :D
or any english speaking south african, eh
I installed the new part, full body gear and everything was installed correctly but did not work at all. Any ideas?
I just fixed one of these this weekend stupid plastic gears!!
How do you know the number of teeth the gear has beforehand w/out disassembling the module?
You have a answer?
Hi where are you from. I replaced the gear on my car and reset it with a computer but still won't engage.
please give a amazon tip für the actuactor oder give ebay-link
Ok!👍
I replaced my actuator gear but the hand brake wont work still. Anything I can do, please help
I did that but the handbrake work only one time after that stop working again can you help me please
How I can take cables off to replace all unit
So, basically, the car can’t move if it has a parking brake failure, because it’s computerized?
After watching your video I ordered a replacement gear for my 2003 bmw 745li 7 series and come to find out the threading wasn't a match. So clicked on the link you put on someone's comment to order the exact replacement gear i need. Just in case can you please send me the link just to make sure it's the right one.

@@ecologicaltime Thank you brother. Let's see how it goes.
@@ecologicaltime So I replaced the gear just like you demonstrated and when I push the parking brake nothing's happening. What could I have possibly done wrong?
Well the parking brake default make the battery run down???
should not do that
Do you have a part number for that replacement part?
Did you get the part #
I need it also
Hi mate, i have the same problem with my BMW 730d 2004
someone before me change all of the parking brake but now the cat doesn't recognise the new one.
if i recall correctly, you just need to code the new one.
ecologicaltime Thanks for the answer the thing is my mechanic can't find the code to recoded the module
What's that scann software on your laptop?
INPA
Where can I buy that part I really need it ASAP??? Please and Thank you
Amazon
Thank you
I have the parking break light on. I ordered the part and was going to replace it. But after inspection of the part on in the the vehicle nothing looks broken..
yes i had the exact situation as well
What is the program to reset it yourself? Can you tell me? Or no?
INPA
ecologicaltime
oooh, ok
Thanks 🤘
Keep it up man 🤙
BMW EMF Parking brake is wise design, it can't save you in an Emergency if the foot-well brake failed to stop vehicle. Buying a vehicle with a Real hand held Emergency brake is better saving my ass than a fancy worthless EMF that dis-activate from applying while driving.
good point. If the car is moving you cannot activate the park brake even if its emergency. I suppose you could use down gear shift if needed, like in the old days. However, i think its a cool feature to have electronic as its easy to use.
Can sometimes be fixed with a brake system reset.
not if gear is broken. But first step is to reset. If still not working, open it and fix gear.
How do you reset the parking brake to make the light go off if you've already replaced the old one?
Why You rotate by hand the rotor of electrical motor motor?
Exist there 5mm alen key and You can rotate with alen key instead by hand...
Labs
What’s the part number ???
Where is your video programming ?
Can please get me a link where I found this tank you
you mean the replacement gear?
@@ecologicaltime yes please

How critical is the red plastic bit? Seem to have lost mine 😅
I do everything but dont work
Mine didn't when through
You voice sound like a man from ZA
yes
Bro i have same problem on 2007 750 ... And i put new one but dont work idk .. If i do wrong but problem is workin if i drive litle and i push the break botton and is work
You have problem the same like me it's problem with cable of parking brake broken
Let's make this as complicated as possible, I would never buy a BMW.
people complain about this thing but mine has performed over 9000 operations. Its more about the use of a plastic gear is where BMW made an error.
These german cars have too much tech. It's better to just own a dimple car, dimple old school pull cable. Nothing wrong with being simple.
Tech junkie here. By the way the car handbrake has given me 5 years of perfect service and the previous owner even more.like all moving parts, it needs to be serviced or replaced after a while. I use the car every day.
It’s a myth a about German engineering poor design I’ve had bmw Audi and merc all had design flaws also has Toyota Nissan and modern jag they were much better on design and quality
Good work, good record. Thank you.
