[quote="X5Sport"]
Parking brake 'efficiency' is only needed to hold the car on a slope so it sounds OK.  If not just give it a bit more of adjustment.  If you can find a 1/16 slope and after applying the Parking Brake the car stays still then it's a Pass.

Yes you should do each wheel separately.  I used to stop the other wheel from rotating by chocking it with something, or leaving that one on the ground.
