Full restoration of parking brake function — When the original EPB actuator fails, this replacement module restores proper electronic handbrake engagement/release, eliminating unreliable braking, stuck brake, or failure-to-hold issues.
Direct-fit & OEM-spec replacement — Designed for BMW X5 E70 (2007–2013) and X6 E71/E72 (2008–2014) with relevant part numbers (34436850289, 34436779451, 34436782205, etc.), ensuring perfect fitment without modifications.
Improved reliability and safety — A functioning actuator ensures your parking brake holds securely when parked — essential on hills or uneven surfaces — restoring a critical safety feature that older/faulty actuators often compromise.
Smooth, automatic, push-button convenience — As part of the electronic parking brake (EPB) system, this actuator enables brake engagement and release via a button — modern, easy and comfortable compared to manual levers.
Cost-effective alternative to dealer replacement — High-quality aftermarket actuator module at competitive pricing from D2P Autoparts gives you OEM-level performance without the steep cost of dealer parts.
Full brake system refresh when combined with worn cables/links — Since this actuator often replaces the full servo motor and cable system for the rear axle handbrake, it’s ideal when you’re doing a full brake-system overhaul — reducing the risk of repeated failures.
Q: What does this electric parking brake actuator do?
A: The actuator is the motorised unit that engages and releases the rear parking brake on BMW X5/X6 models with electronic parking brake (EPB). It replaces the old mechanical or failed handbrake system, controlling brake pad application via motor and cables to hold the vehicle securely when parked.
Q: Which BMW models is this actuator compatible with?
A: This unit fits BMW X5 E70 (approx. 2007–2013) and BMW X6 E71/E72 (approx. 2008–2014) that originally came with the electric parking brake system and OE part numbers 34436850289 (and related equivalents listed). Always verify with your VIN or old part number before purchase.
Q: What issues indicate the actuator needs replacement?
A: Common symptoms include failure to engage or release the parking brake, warning lights or error messages related to EPB, unreliable brake-hold on slopes, strange noises from under the vehicle when brake is applied, or complete loss of handbrake function — all signs the actuator (or associated cable/mechanism) may be faulty.
Q: Is installation straightforward or does it require special tools/coding?
A: This is a direct-fit replacement actuator — but after installation, the EPB system may need to be reset or calibrated (coding/initialisation) so the car’s electronic control unit recognises the new module. Many specialists recommend professional fitting to ensure proper function and avoid faults.
Q: Will replacing the actuator fix all parking brake issues?
A: If the problem stems from a faulty actuator or worn actuator-cable assembly, then yes — replacing the actuator often restores proper parking brake operation. However, if issues are due to worn brake pads, damaged brake discs, or other brake system faults, those components may also need inspection or replacement.
Q: Why should I choose this actuator from D2P Autoparts over other suppliers?
A: D2P Autoparts offers a high-quality aftermarket actuator that meets or exceeds OEM specifications, at competitive pricing — delivering reliable performance, proper fitment, and a cost-effective way to restore your BMW’s electronic parking brake without expensive dealer pricing.
