Parking brake cables holder

It's quite common with the 2012-2018 F30 3-Series to hear a metallic rattle coming from the rear lower gas tank area, especially during heavy acceleration when the vehicle's weight shifts. This noise happens when the plastic bracket (yes, plastic...) holding the two parking brake cables breaks. Eventually, the cables hang just above the driveshaft, leading to that metallic rattle you're hearing. Regardless of the cause, it's essential to replace this. If you're thinking, "Can't we just use zip-ties?" then this article may not be for you. But if you prefer a reliable, long-lasting fix, we offer an upgraded aluminum bracket. A big shout out to AGA TOOLS for this amazing design. We’ll let the photos below tell the rest of the story.

And just so you know, dealers are asking for three times the cost for this, but here's the funny part: they'll be using the same plastic part.
