Hi Please see link to video, this is extremely helpful

THE SOLENOID PACK IN THE TRANS IS BAD

If you remove the rear wheels, through the bolt holes in the disc you should find a toothed wheel which needs to be turned with a screwdriver until the disc cannot be turned, then back off 6 teeth to prevent over adjustment and binding. (you can adjust the cables inside but this only takes up the slack and doesnt adjust the handbrake correctly) once they have been adjusted check the balance by driving gently forward and backwards whilst applying the handbarke and watching which side of the car reacts first then adjust the other side via the cable inside the car

you can't. there's those star nuts that are supposed to do it, but they don't work. You can access the star legs through the access hole on the drum. spin them till the drum stops. Test the hand brake and you'll find it still doesn't stop the car while moving. BMW engineering.....brilliant.

there should be a stick under the hood that say transmission take a small funnel and thats how you do it be sure not to over fill give these websites a try www.alldatadiy.com and www.autozone.com if you have miss place your owner manual see if you can download one for your car www.edmunds.com wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.

Hi tim to adjust the parking brake shoe is take off one wheel bolt and turn it untill you see the parking brake ajuster ( look like a gear) use torch and flat screw driver. first tight the adjuster untill you cant turn the wheel then undo it for atleast 8 notches

pcv valve maybe the issue. does it misfire?

most of the time it is underneth the car look under on both back wheels you will see cables about the thickness of your finger follow them up to roughley the middle of the car they will both meet on like a t bar with 1 nut this is the nut that you tightern but you have to do this with the hand brake off so make sure you are on flat serfise and all wheels are chocked up so it wont roll while you are under it,, saftey first
