EVRBUL Upgraded Stainless Steel Parking Brake Cable Clip Retainer with 2Pcs Rubber Tubes Compatible with BMW 1 Series F20/F21 2 Series F22/F23 3 Series F30/F31 4 Series F32/F33 Replace#: 34406854898

Amazing piece of part. Really prevents the clip from breaking again as it is metal and the OEM is plastic. Would recommend for F series vehicle!

Great cost effective part which offers an easier solution than the American AGA metal clip repair kit. Still pretty difficult to fit although I didn’t remove the heat tray. I used a 13mm ratchet to remove the existing clip but, and managed to fit this clip on top of the broken plastic clip. The original 13mm nut with fixed washer wouldn’t go on, so I used a 13mm nut with no washer. I couldn’t fit the rubber pipe socks with the gap I was working in but don’t think it’s made that much difference. The ridge on this clip made it easier to fit compared to the same clips without the ridge.

Wow! I was really impressed. TWICE when my Series 3 F30 went in for a service they said the cable clip was broken. The first time after a 60 mile round trip, a 6 hour wait and nearly £300 later I drove off with a new clip costing 68p. They said, "well, we had to remove the exhaust system, drop the prop shaft, remove the fuel tank, etc". This time I had a look on line and 'presto' spotted this little beauty. I am not going to lie and say it was easy to fit but... it actually wasn't that hard. It helped that I used a friend's hydraulic ramp (wouldn't fancy doing this lying on my back under a jacked up car). The job was more fiddly than technical. I actually only needed to remove bolts from one side of the heat shield (rather than completely removing it). It was a tight working space (too small for a rachet spanner) but persevering with a short spanner at a quarter turn at a time I got there. Bluffer's tip: the fitted thread on my car was too short to fit the supplied washer so I left it off. What I did do however, was fit a "nyloc" nut. This should prevent any loosening due to vibration. Oh did I mention that I am NOT a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination? I am actually a retired white collar worker. If I can do this repair I am sure others can too. Just find a ramp or pit to use ;) Highly recommended product and great service from the seller.

Excellent product b&w specialist even sed thay would pick this iver the original part dont even need to remove old one just the old nut fit and and put the nut back on will probably out do the car now 😀

this is much stronger than the original BMW plastic bracket which broke! Being stainless steel it won't rust either. fits perfectly and did the job for the price of this and 20 minutes work. Saved that £457 BMW wanted to fit another plastic bit!!

Perfect fit 10/10

Doesn’t come with a 13mm nut with the new washer and the old washer with nut attached doesn’t fit the part. Had to buy some 13mm nuts and wait for them to arrive which is quite annoying. Other than that, a great solution to an otherwise costly repair.

Great item, only dropped the rear 4 heat shield nuts to move the shield down slightly. This required a 10mm socket. Then a 13mm ratchet spanner to undo the nut, slide the rubbers on, push the clip over and put the original nut and washer back on, I never used the included washer. 45minutes including jacking the car up, great job! You need at least axle stands both sides and be able to lay under the car comfortably, so you can get finger tips of both hands round the propshaft to do it this way.
