OK, then I have no clue and no one should listen to me.
I missed your advice piece though. It was go to the dealer and replace all parts ?

BTW, I am surprised you were asking me about advice on how to set up the laptimer.
I would expect if you are a senior tech you should know 2-3 things about electronics as BMW cars have quite a few electronics the last 15 years.
My apologies, I misunderstood.

Lol ha ha yeah fair enough cos all cars come with lap timers mate.what I was asking was how to overlay video and lap time onto a clip that can be posted onto you tube,and what devices would be best used to do this.has fuck all to do with mechanical systems and are electronic devices not associated with motor vehicle maintainance.and seeing i have no track experience or knowledge about lap timers or gps systems its got fuck all to do with fixing cars hennce i don't post opinions on things i know nothing about.your too wrapped up in yourself mate and i can understand why soo im not gonna carry on this with you as I and many others have quietened you regards what this post originally was started for so crack on enjoy your weekend and your vast knowledge.

[QUOTE=adem.csl;n522732]If it was stuck and you have had to drive out aggressive to free it off you have ripped the brake shoe friction pad from its metal body and thats why it no longer holds drive it slow so not to smash the whole lot up get it fixed properly

Was my advice mate get it right!!

The guy speaks the truth.

I have replaced hundreds of inboard handbrake shoes in my life.

[CraigMillwardCroft]

I wonder what my rear handbrake looks like?

Probably the same as your old front disc's :wink:

I used to work at British aerospace, where tolerances are far far smaller than in these shitty cars...... There was the official handbook way of doing things and then there was the actual way lads on the shop floor would do it....


There is always more than 1 way to skin a cat, and I think that people are missing out on the subtleties of language and getting a bit carried away on this thread......

Btw. Motor factors do these shoes for about £18 and they're a piece of piss to replace. No need to go BMW for such a simple job

[adem.csl]

Sorry Jim i apologise for certain words used in my post,i don't set out to offend i speak my mind and often type what im saying!
Correct there are ways to skin a cat but being careful not to kill it in the process is always something to be wary about!lol
Apologies for my language

Remove carbon airbox.

Its in your face,

There is a mounting bracket underneath. accessible from under car.
Mounts from side.
Undo hydraulic pipes on top
Undo electric plugs

Not a difficult job.

Took me about 20mins to remove mine.
