►Have you heard an extremely concerning grinding sound from the center of your F30 BMW 3-series? There's a good chance that a simple fix to the parking brake cable will solve it all.
Running from the interior back to the rear calipers, the parking brake cable locks the rear calipers when you pull on the handbrake. The cable runs along the transmission tunnel to the back of the car and is held up by a clip on the fuel tank. That clip has become a common failure point for the F30, allowing the sheathed cable to rub on the drive shaft and cause very concerning grinding. Unfortunately, the retainer clip is above the fuel tank and can't be accessed without dropping it. However, AGA Tools has just the solution.
In this video, FCP Euro's BMW Expert, Gareth Foley, resecures the parking brake cable on a BMW F30 328i.

I bought some china made replacement part off of AliExpress. Doesn’t look anything like the fancy Fcp euro part, but it is metal and it was only $5. doing the fix today and if it doesn’t work out I’m going with cable ties lol

⁠@@Fuzzard10 how did the fix go? With the Aliexpress part

@cdh76 6 месяцев назад

Whilst it's a good solution, the price of the part is ridiculous for what it is.

@losertown2785 5 месяцев назад

Totally agree, mine just broke a week ago and was so excited when a saw this video, went to buy the part and realized it cost 20x the cost of the factory part, definitely not worth the extra cost I’ll just do the job again rather than spend the extra 190 dollars

@prodkevv2freefornonprofitb982 5 месяцев назад

Go on turner motor sports they have it 125 that’s where I got mine. 200 is ridiculous 125 is reasonable . You drive a BMW nothing is gonna be cheap. Go the expensive way and get the metal or get the cheap plastic one and in another 40k miles the sound will be back.

@cdh76 5 месяцев назад

@@prodkevv2freefornonprofitb982Yes I actually made the comment referring to the cheaper price as I'd seen that on the AGA website. $125 is still pretty unreasonable for what it is. I don't get FCP's mark up on that one - I'm sure someone will mention their lifetime warranty but realistically that's never going to be needed here.

@James2001 10 дней назад

Good on FCS for this video, bad on them for the absurd overcharging on this part. Turner and ECS Tuning both sell it for $127.

@metman3 6 месяцев назад

A nice bit of kit. A little pricey, but good to know it exists. I wonder how many folks (including me) might try throwing a couple of zip ties on there first.. maybe secured under a large washer on that stud.😬😆

@MishkathePomsky-Alusky 2 месяца назад

I am thinking of trying that instead.

@13adrian 2 месяца назад

Like the video I have a 2014 f30 335d xdrive just did this today had the cars back wheels on ramps but jacked it up higher you need plenty of room took 2 hours from start to cleanup a little bit awkward not the worst thing I have done though I got mine for $155 or£122 Inc Post to the UK 5 day postage not from aga as they wanted a lot for postage Yes it is expensive for a small item and I could have got6 or7 of the plactic clips but I didn't want to drop the tank or pay bmw £800 to £1000 do do the job don't know what a independent would charge and then don't know how long it would last I would rather pay the price do it once and know it should not happen again hopefully

@chenhaishen 10 дней назад

Your design is too troublesome. Look at what I produce. You don't need to disassemble so many things. It's simple, convenient and save money. It only costs 1 dollar.

@Alba_BestiaF30 15 дней назад

I did this in my drive way but I kinda put the heat shield back on wrong at first and bent it someways and now it’s making a scraping noise when I let off the gas 😂 I’m guessing it’s making contact with the drive shaft

@softwere 6 месяцев назад

200 bucks? rather spend $10 for the genuine clip and spend an extra hour on dropping the fuel tank to get more access.

@timiafolabi4237 6 месяцев назад

Could you guys release a full build video on this particular N20 car? That bracing you installed from the F32 is intriguing

@nycshelbygt500 3 месяца назад

UPDATE: BMW F30 335i M-Sport Rear Wheel Bearing AND the #ParkingBrakeCableClip BOTH FAILED at the same time at only 78k miles. Less than an hour for the #ParkingBrakeCableClip AGA Tool aftermarket part fix install. 6-8 hours labor for the new rear wheel bearings, hub and, axle nut. #SlideHammerCity Very similar rear grinding sounds.

@nowiplay2 3 дня назад

Awkward to do, but managed to do it with car on jack stands, without lowering exhaust or fuel tank. Just loosened off bolts for heat shield, to bend it out the way a bit, got a small 13mm spanner to remove the nut, used small side cutters to cut away old prices of clip, and tightened a new metal clip from eBay on top of it. Worked great happy days

@manthis22 4 месяца назад

What if I once did hear that scratching noise and I "fixed it" by doing the zip tie mod from the inside of the car by going in the rear AC vents in the back seat? I no longer hear the scratching noise at all. Should I still do this?

@fcpeuro 3 месяца назад

We highly recommend looking it over and inspecting the condition of the cables!

@MuhammadMalik-hz9ut 4 месяца назад

If my hand brake also does not catch at all, do you think the issue could still be bracket or the whole cable itself?

@fcpeuro 3 месяца назад

The cable may be very stretched, or the whole system needs a severe adjustment. Worth doing some diagnosing first!
