Handbrake Cable for BMW 3 Series: Natural Rubber
This handbrake cable for the BMW 3 Series is specified around natural rubber, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench, or lead time that slipped twice before bulk started. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Questions buyers ask
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 1000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SGS documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
