I had this kind of happen to me in my M2c on the rear brakes.

This is what happened. I washed the car, after washing I put it in the garage and I enabled the parking brake. Brakes probably still wet after washing car. Vehicle sat in the garage for 2-3 weeks. When I started the vehicle and wanted to move, there was ALOT of resistance and than I heard a small bang right when the brakes let go and vehicle moved.

I knew it was the calipers that were seized immediately when this happened. Now after I wash the car I DO NOT put on the parking brake. I just put it in 1st gear.

Just give it gas and go, it will unseize when you give the vehicle some throttle. Try reverse and then go forward, etc. Easy to do. No need for a tow.

Have you tried no engaging the parking brake? Do not engage it when parking for a long time.
