That works better than just full braking even with ABS and Traction control. It is the mechanics of braking and tires, though I am not an expert with a PhD. in this area, this is what I learnt in school when I studied some Engineering Mechanics.
They recommend braking , letting go, and then braking hard, it avoid skids and it brings u a to a stop quicker than just by full braking. Counter intuitive, but I think I am correct there
I am thinking of an F30 already but it is hard to keep eyes off an F10. Another reason why BMW is the number 1 innovator.
