[s-cars] Parking Brake Cable

[Martin, Gary G]

I just did the right side cable only on my S4 and 200. I think this side
fails (cable casing breaks and gets sticky) more often. A couple tips.
Disconnect the drive shaft at the rear connection. This gives a little more
room to work. Near the forward end of the cable, there is a clip, a well
rusted clip IME, that holds the cable. This will be your greatest challenge.
Get a new one from dealer, to get an idea of how to get it off, and you will
replace it anyway. Cable is about $20 from www.bimmerparts.com I assume
other vendors prices about the same.  I think Fred Munro has a procedure for
both sides, but don't know where it is.  HTH

Hey everyone,

       I have finally decided to replace the nonworking parking brake cable
so I can park on hills again.  I thought that there was only one cable to
worry about, but in looking to order, I see that there is a driver and
passenger side, do I need both?  Just what do I need to order to get this
thing working again?  I know that many of you have already done this
replacement.  What is a typical cost to purchase these cable/s.

Thanks,
