Angry Did my GF just f*** up my e-brake?

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I let my GF back my car out of my garage. When I went to move it the e-brake was yanked up so high I struggled to disengage it.

Now instead of 3 nice immediate clicks to engage it, I have to pull it up halfway before it clicks the first time, and 5-8 clicks before it will hold the car.

Did she fuck the e-brake cable?

Sounds like she just stretched it enough to introduce some slack. It can be adjusted.

Are you suggesting your girlfriend's supreme strength ruined your handbrake? Sorry if I find that slightly amusing :

The hand brake on her car is shot to shit. So I can only assume she felt the need to put 800ft lbs on it.

Is the adjustment a diy or BMW service needs to do it? Even my rarely used hand brake seems a lot looser after a year.

It is diy for those with some mechanical skills. I’m not one of those so I’ve had them adjusted in the past when getting brakes or other service done. There’s likely a YouTube video out there so you can probably assess whether or not you want to take a shot. Good luck if you decide to take it on.

Yes, you can adjust the parking brake via the hole in the wheel hub of the rear wheels. There's a gear within the hole which you can crank with a flathead screwdriver to adjust. I'm sure someone has a DIY on bimmerpost, or just check YouTube, there are a bunch of videos on how to do it. I've only ever done it once, wasn't hard, just a PIA of adjust, try, adjust until you get it where you want it.

Bruh, she broke the car. The most rational thing to do now is to trade it in for a CS and have her pay the difference.
