This would essentially stop from having to cycle the hand brake button to tighten. This could be where maybe someone might push down instead of up, causing a retract seizure since it can't make the motor physically move.
If this works for you, then I have some editing to do in the original post.
I had my local BMW service dept, where I have a good service "advisor", look at it quickly and they resolved it, for free, and only listed these details:
REAR BRAKES NOT CALIBRATED AFTER REAR BRAKE REPLACEMENT BY OUTSIDE SHOP. PROPERLY CALIBRATED REAR ELCTRO MECHANICAL BRAKE CALIPERS

I'm not what they exactly did to calibrate it...
That's awesome they were able to help you without bending you over! Ever since my SA left after getting sick, the new guys are not so quick to help me or give me good pricing.
