On the assumption that it's the same system as fitted to the F12, no problem at all - my F10 was in for a small warranty fix recently and the dealer gave me a 640i convertible as a loaner. It was a sunny day and, thinking it would be nice to open the top, I slowed to 20/25mph and pulled the roof switch - at least that was what I thought I was doing. Imagine my 'surprise' when the rear wheels suddenly locked up
, I'd pulled the handbrake switch instead of the roof one
.
Three thoughts occurred to me:- 1. I thought the car had to be stationary in order to operate the handbrake, 2. I thought you had to have your foot on the brake pedal beforehand, 3. the two switches should be further apart and have a different tactile feel.
So there you go: for those who feel the need to pull handbrake turns - no problem.
