I must say though that all my BMW seem to have a very weak e-break. Anybody else experience this?

couldnt have put it better my self.
i always use the e-brake when parking. (any automatic) i put the rig in Netraul, yank the brake and let the vehicle rest on the brake and then throw it in park. its never a good feeling when you shift outta park to hear the tranny clank. ouch.
about the break being weak, you can adjust it, or your pads are wearing thin.
