E-Brake / Parking Brake Usage - Anyone wanna run a tes
 

Anyone want to test your e-brake/parking brake on your X ?
I'm curious what is your stopping/slowdown behaviour going even 30-35mph and then using only the e-brake/parking brake.

I was trying this yesterday and it did not do squat for me....

However, when in reverse or just idle, with ebrake enable....there is resistence, etc.

it works.. you just don't feel much because the x5 has 5000 lbs of momentum and the parking parks don't have that much brake torque, but it does work...

how else do you think we do j-turns in the shopping malls during xmas around here? ;)
