Overview of Hand Brake Cables for BMW 7 Series

The hand brake, also known as the emergency brake or parking brake, is a crucial component in the braking system of your BMW 7 Series. It provides the necessary resistance to prevent the vehicle from moving when parked and can also serve as an emergency stopping mechanism. At the heart of this system is the hand brake cable, a key element that connects the hand brake lever to the brake shoes or calipers.

Importance of a Functioning Hand Brake Cable

A fully functional hand brake cable is essential for the safety and reliability of your BMW 7 Series. Over time, cables can stretch, corrode, or even snap, leading to a loss of hand brake efficiency or complete failure. Regular inspections and maintenance of the other braking components are necessary to ensure that your hand brake system operates as intended.

Choosing the Right Hand Brake Cable for Your BMW 7 Series

When selecting a new hand brake cable for your BMW 7 Series, it's important to choose one that is compatible with your specific model. A perfect fit ensures proper function and longevity of the cable. High-quality materials and manufacturing processes are also key factors to consider, as they contribute to the durability and performance of the hand brake system.

Installation and Maintenance

Installing a new hand brake cable in your BMW 7 Series requires precision and attention to detail. It is recommended to have a professional technician handle the replacement to ensure proper tensioning and function. Regular checks and adjustments can help maintain the effectiveness of your hand brake and extend the life of the cable.

What is a Hand Brake Cable?

Most hand brakes consist of a cable that is directly connected to your car's braking system on one end and to a lever or foot-operated pedal on the other.

When the handbrake is applied, the hand brake cable engages the rear disc pads or brake shoes and is used to stop it rolling forwards or backwards when the car is parked or waiting at a junction.

How can you tell if the Hand Brake Cable is Failing?

You can tell if the hand brake cable is broken or failing in a few ways.

  • The hand brake doesn't work at all.
  • You must pull the hand brake up entirely, and the car doesn't stay still. You would notice this more on a hill.

It's essential that you get your hand brake cable checked if any of these occur and get it replaced quickly.
