Ahhh, what you have there Sir, are the components that hold the hand brake, brake shoes in place. You will have to open it all up. From what you have said, the hand brake unit brake shoes must be binding, I would investigate this sooner rather than later.

Can you buy that part separately or the whole handbrake mechanism? |

Yes you can get them separately, see below link, these can become loose due to the hole in the backing plate being enlarged due to rust.

If the hole has rusted in the backing plate, then rather than replace the backing plate you can use brake retainer cup washers - https://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/threads/e46...avy.64462/ will give you the idea. There's a writeup on this site somewhere as well IIRC. Note that there are different size cup washers for different brake manufacturers - might need to try a couple to find the right one. |
