I'm curious too. My ebrake on the used 335i I recently purchased doesn't feel like it's tight.

to adjust the e-brake you can remove the rear rotor and there is an adjuster wheel in there you can dial out...

just did this, this past weekend while swapping rotors... e-brake works like a champ now.

Rear brakes are a disc brake design... but the E-brake uses a drum brake inside of the DISC/hub!

Hence the... A drum brake is a drum brake is a drum brake - comment!
