Changed out my park brake shoes this morning. Not a bad job, but I took it slow and repainted my rotor centres while I had them off the car. Cleaned up the calipers a little too.
Not very impressed with BMWs park brake shoe adjustment method. There should be a small hole in the disc backing plate (with a grommet) that allows for easier adjustment than the BMW method via a wheel bolt hole. It works but it would be so much easier via a hole in the back plate. Getting at the hand brake lever adjustments isn't easy either - you will need a good set of
metric tube spanners for this part (9mm & 12mm).
Replacement shoes were
Bendix BS5099.
