After putting parking brake on BMW X5 2007, tried to release parking brake. System displayed parking brake malfunction. Was unable to drive the car until a BMW assist supervisor told me that I need to manually release by pulling a cable in the trunk of a car. After searching online it seems to be a common problem with this car. I don't feel safe driving a car that has malfunction brakes.
