First, try to properly clean and lubricate the parking brake mechanism. This may solve the problem. If not, it is best to have a professional mechanic take a look to diagnose and fix any underlying issues.

Make sure the parking brake cable is properly adjusted. If it is loose, it may need to be tightened. If it is too tight, it may need to be loosened. This can be done by a mechanic or with the help of a repair manual.

If the issue persists, it is possible that there could be a problem with the parking brake actuator. In this case, it is best to take your car to a BMW dealership for further diagnosis and repair.
