x2! BMWs definitely drag the rears to prevent front end squat. Electronic brake force distribution. BMW has been using it for years. On leisure stops the rears are engaged first and essentially drag you to a stop. On panic stops or during spirited braking the fronts brake with more force if you are aggressive with the brake pedal and you can definitely feel the front end squat.
