Thanks all. I doubt the appropriate OE bands are available anywhere (on purpose). I might start digging around online for some bands that would perhaps not only fit but also give me the durability I'm looking for. In other words, not break down like a regular rubber band from Office Depot would.

While I have replaced the electronic brake lever, I've not been down any further on this car. I'm certain I'm going to have a "large" time dismantling that mess, then trying to put it all back together. Thanks for the instruction link!

Not sure Id look for OE bands. The office depot ones are almost surely an upgrade....





A friend who is a BMW master tech says the failure rate seems to be 100% by 100k, at least here in hot California....

Wow. Well, I'll see if I can figure out the highest quality rubber band at home depot.

Yeah, I get the heat. Dries everything out. I lived in SoCal for 8 years, in Fontucky. 116 degrees in the shade. Still not as bad as Phoenix was thankfully. Now I'm in Charlotte, NC and it gets nasty hot here but with a lot of humidity. There are days where I just want to give up breathing altogether.
