Hand brake bowden cable — a genuine BMW part, number 34 40 1 166 053. The number stamped on the part is 34401166053; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 1166053. You will find it on our Brakes shelf, under Parking brake / brake pads. It supersedes the older number 1160874, so a part carrying that number is the same part.

It fits the E36 compact (318ti, 1995–1999), with the M42 or M44 engines — and the European-market versions.

BMW draws it on 4 diagrams, among them Handbrake lever (34_0410) and Handbrake lever (34_0535). It weighs about 423 g (0.9 lb).

We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
