I inadvertently engaged my parking brake with too much pressure - and it will not release.
Is there a mechanism to release it in the transmission tunnel or at the rear wheel?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I would be inclined to lift the saddle board behind the seats and slacken off the handbrake adjuster itself as a start point. It's around a 10mm spanner size with a lock nut on it.

It's inside the transmission tunnel on the 3 wheeler.

Yes, you can get at it from underneath by removing the inspection plate or from the top by removing the complete trans. tunnel.
It all depends if the car is up in the air or not.

Thank you, my friends, for helping me resolve an issue with my M3W that had me stumped.
Going to the dealer, which is in Phoenix and 650 miles away (1046 km), is not a viable option.
