Cromium-plated birchwood handbrake lever — a genuine BMW part, number 34 41 2 425 879. The number stamped on the part is 34412425879; BMW's catalog files it under the short number 2425879. You will find it on our Brakes shelf, under Parking brake. BMW has since replaced it with 2425878.
It fits every E36 body style (318i, 318ti, 320i, 323i, 325i and 328i, 1992–1999), with the M40, M42, M43, M44, M50 or M52 engines — and the European-market versions.
BMW draws it on the Individual handbrake lever w/wood handle (91_1398) diagram. It weighs about 835 g (1.8 lb).
We have not had one on the shelf yet. Request it and we will tell you when one comes off a car.
