How to adjust the handbrake of a BMW car

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Parking brake

Video tutorial

How do you adjust the handbrake of a BMW car? We see it in this video: first of all, we need to lift the leather cover of the handbrake, in order to discover the mechanism: underneath we see two screws, which we will adjust using a 12 mm tubular extension, like the one shown by the youtuber, and then we use a ratchet wrench to turn the nut: of course, we must do the operation on both nuts on the sides of the handbrake lever.

We tighten it just enough to pull up the lever to the third/fourth notch, which are considered optimal for the adjustment to be successful.

We put the cover back in place, and it's done.
