Extending your logic, why bother avoiding hitting other cars? Insurance will cover it. Not a big deal. Might as well leave the doors to the house unlocked and the garage door closed when I'm away. After all, insurance will cover it. Not a big deal. Why bother to look both ways when crossing a street? If I get hit, insurance will cover it. Not a big deal. That's just the stupidest logic I've ever heard.

Nothing you say at this point is going to justify your logic in not using the parking brake.

I dont understand why everyone thinks they will cause damage to the DCT transmission by parking it in gear. If your car cant handle to sit still with the weight of the car held by the transmission, how the hell can your transmission handle 400+ lb/ft of torque on every component in it?
Also... if you clamp your ebrake on the rotor after driving, how do you think the rotor cools? unevenly thats how. That can lead to warped rotors. So use the transmission park as the vehicle is designed for, and leave the 'parking' brake also known as the emergency brake for emergencies..

It is not the gears that hold the transmission in park. The transmission is locked using a parking pawl on the output shaft which is designed for much lower loads than what the transmission can handle under all out acceleration. Using the parking pawl exclusively without the parking brake will progressively wear the pawl mechanism and will have it have more and more slack. There is a reason why BMW specifically recommend using the parking brake in the owner’s manual. The parking brake on the F8X does not clamp the main discs, so it has no effect on “cooling” as you say. Further, clamped hot brakes may leave pad imprints, but will not warp the rotors. Do some research before making misinformed posts...

As for the parking brake, I have defiantly read articles stating that the uneven cooling from using the ebrake can lead to warped rotors. Maybe not with the f80, but on other vehicles.

Further, your point was already addressed earlier in this very thread - it wasn't like you had to take 5 seconds to do a google search to check, you could've just read back a few posts. Anyway, your apology is accepted, I'm sure you won't do it again and pivot to being a useful member of this community with solid info. Surprisingly a few of us have experience being wrong so rest assured we'll all conveniently forget you posted that. Welcome back! |
