For the non-redditors, TIL stands for Today I Learned.

I was perusing through the manual and came across the following passage.

Honestly I’ve never done this, nor have ever thought about it.

So it's saying if you pull the handbrakes up, while the car Is still moving and keep the release button depress, it won't alert you?

Which is some unconventional way of cleaning the rotors..

Interesting

It DOES alert you. It doesn’t trigger the brake lights, however.

Interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing, OP!

I'm incredibly happy that the M2 still has an actual handbrake.

I used to do this in my sisters Mitsubishi Outlander but I had no idea what I was doing of if it was helpful/hurtful lmao

Be careful you don't do a hand brake turn somewhere that could be embarrassing.

In rallying, a handbrake turn is extremely useful for getting your car to rotate around a tight corner and keep momentum. By locking up the rear wheels, the driver can slow the car, slide the rear end out, and get the car pointed in the right direction without having to brake excessively and lose valuable speed.

The parking brake doesn't touch the rotors, it's behind the top hat, just like an old school drum brake.

So I'm confuse, what's the point of this exercise then?

To keep them clean and free from binding up I suppose. You know, like the worst thing you can do to a car is not use it.

I do this when I’m speeding and see a cop. Need to bleed a bit of speed without activating those brake light.

Sorry, that was a typo. I never speed.

No worries, I make this same typo all the time...

[doughboy]

Didn't know it was in the manual, but this is something I always used to do on manual handbrake cars, guess all the electric brakes made me forget about this!

I shall do it tomorrow...

Just a friendly reminder ��

Bro do you seriously think people will mistake "lightly apply the brake while coasting" for pulling handbrake turns

[chmura]

I think this is more needed people living in colder climates where it snows and there is more potential for corrosion.

This guys rear brakes locked up due to rust and had to get his car towed and change his rear brakes.
