Any work under £500 is general maintenance!
I have been lucky not having to spend very much on the Z4.
The 2006 1.2 Corsa Steptronic is another story though.

I did mine on my coupe last year, can confirm the exhaust and prop needs to be removed or at least moved out the way.
I did try and see if it could be done from above but not chance without modding the tunnel.
Going smoothly without issues it took a couple of hours. My exhaust had been done a few years ago.

Just collected car - new handbrake fitted, works like a dream. I realise now its never been right since I bought the car.
Cost came in under his quote too at £242 inc. VAT. Very pleased

If you maintain a warranty on the car it is covered- had mine done a year or two ago on my 04 under BMW warranty.

How many handbrake-related dreams have you had?

I often dream about my car - well nightmares; its usually stolen or smashed up following a joy ride

Agree 100% with Road Warriors comments
Have you asked Mike DLV for a price ?
I've found a BMW specialist right on my doorstep here in Fulwood; thought I'd give them a try.
I once spent some time in Fulwood Barracks many moons ago Is it still there
