Electronic Parking Brake Malfunction - EMF issue?

[Don Nguyen]

Been trying to use my google-fu to find a solution to this, but it seems like most people's solutions is getting their car to the dealership.

My 07 x5 is already out of warranty, so it is up to me. After scanning the car, the autologic told me that I have an EMF issue and that (BMW part #34436850289) needs to be replaced. This is a $700-$800 dollar item, so I am trying to see if there are any easy/alternative solutions to that could possibly fix this before simply just purchasing the part from BMW.

The car is not stuck with the parking brake on. However, it does show the sign/light that the electronic parking brake is no longer functioning.

Any info/insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.
