How do you adjust the handbrake of the BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Parking brake

To adjust the handbrake of the BMW 3 Series, you need to lift the car with a jack so that the left rear wheel is not in contact with the ground. Once the wheel is lifted, you will need to unscrew the nuts that hold it to the hub, allowing you to locate the underlying drum. By unscrewing the screws on the drum, you can locate the washer placed between the handbrake shoes. This washer can be screwed and unscrewed to make the handbrake tighter or looser. The same procedure must be followed by removing the leather cover that surrounds the handbrake and adjusting the underlying bolt.
