If you look closely at the picture you will see a spring very close to the adjuster. It engages the notches in the adjuster, which serves as a series of detents. When I say one click, I mean one notch on the adjuster. You can feel the spring engaging in each notch as you turn the adjuster.
The Bentley service manual for the E9x 3-series says to turn the adjuster until the wheel can no longer be rotated and then back it off by 9 notches (not 3 as I suggested earlier). If you do the same on both sides the rear parking brakes will be balanced.
