Aluminum E-Brake Handle

TopDown · 06-16-2013, 02:49 PM

Purchased Aluminum E-Brake Handle in the brushed silver finish from Bimmian.com. Very happy with the product - it closely matches the Z4MR brushed aluminum trim, and comes with a chrome button cover as well.

Very nice upgrade to the factory leather e-brake handle, which had gotten too worn.

I like it. Looks good.

Nice! Seems like a breeze, thanks for the DIY write-up

I was afraid you bought one of those fake ac shnitzer knockoff hand brakes! Glad you didn't

Excellent write-up. Does the handle get hot in the sun with the top down?

Not so much. Had it sitting in the driveway for a sun check - no problem.

The OEM button is black. But Bimmian provides a chrome button "cover", which I didn't expect. The chrome button cover slips perfectly over the OEM button.
