BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E60, E61 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Key
Operation: How to install the red power button on a BMW 5 series E61 version.

Let's see how to change the power button on our BMW 5 series with a red one (but we can also find it in blue, silver, or crystal color). We can find them on the qspcars.com website for the price of 11,512 euros (14.40 for the crystal) with free shipping. It's very easy. We will need a small screwdriver, which we will use to pry off the locking ring. In the same way, we will also remove the button; if we remove the underlying plastic, we will have a greater luminosity of the writing. Now we install the new button, simply by pressing it, positioning the fittings in the slots. We reassemble the finishing ring, using the same method, and the job is done.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
