BMW E90 E91 E92 E93 Hidden Hydraulic Handbrake

This hidden hydraulic handbrake is designed for the BMW 3 Series E9X: the E90, E91, E92 and E93. It goes exactly in the place of the original handbrake, which has to come out, and connects to the brake system to lock the rear wheels. This gives you a real drift handbrake while the interior looks almost standard.

The handbrake is mainly intended for motorsport such as drifting and rally. Please note: because the original handbrake comes out and this handbrake has no ratchet, the car no longer has a parking brake after installation. The extension is removable, so without the extension the handbrake is barely noticeable; with the extension fitted, the lever stands upright.

Installation and delivery

The original handbrake has to come out. You then fix the hidden hydraulic handbrake in the original holes of the tunnel. Depending on the equipment, the plastic parts on the inside of the tunnel have to be trimmed slightly. This does not affect the visible tunnel, and it gives you room to hide the brake fluid reservoir in the armrest.

You need brake line fittings with 3/8 UNF and 7/16 UNF thread; these are not included. The handbrake is mainly intended for an independent, additional brake circuit, and mounting on separate, extra brake calipers is recommended. Our brake caliper adapter for the E90, E92 and E82 fits for that. Adapters are sold separately. Please note: the handbrake has no ratchet, so it does not stay applied by itself and the car no longer has a parking brake after installation.

Bleed the new circuit carefully and test it first on a closed site. You will find other models in the hydraulic handbrake category.

A fully fledged drift handbrake, tucked away where your original handbrake used to be.

Why choose this hidden hydraulic handbrake?

An upright handbrake in the middle of an E92 or E90 stands out and gets in the way when you are not using it. This version sits in the original place, uses the existing holes and only gets its extension when you need it. You keep a tidy interior and still have a handbrake that really locks the rear wheels. Do bear in mind that the car no longer has a parking brake afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Does my original handbrake keep working?

Which fittings do I need?

Brake line fittings with 3/8 UNF and 7/16 UNF thread. These are not included.

Do I have to modify the tunnel?
