Came across this on the net. Should inquire with the dealership if you have a E46 M3.

Campaign Number: 01V245000 Date: Jul-31-2001

Vehicle Description: Passenger vehicles. The two screws that secure the parking brake cable mounting bracket to the backing plate were not tightened properly. As a result, the screws could
loosen and eventually fall into the parking brake drum.

If this were to happen, the cable mounting bracket would no longer be fixed to the backing plate and the parking brake could no longer be applied on that side of the vehicle. It would also be
possible in some cases for a screw to lodge in the parts within the parking brake drum, impairing the free movement of the drum. This would also produce noise, and could cause the parking
brake on that side to lock up while driving.

Dealers will replace the parking brake cable attaching screws and secure them with the proper torque. Owner notification is expected to begin during August 2001. Owners who take their
vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117. Also contact the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
