Sticky Parking Brake--I washed my new Z4 and pulled it into the garage to dry it off. After drying, I used a clay bar, All in One to tackle some light swirls, an IPA based stripper, and then applied CQuartz 3. I did that on a Friday and left the car in a 74 degree garage until Monday morning. No chance of rain so I decide to drive the car to work. I start the engine and then feel a lurch and brief thump. The parking brake light was not on but it was stuck. Apparently, you should drive the car a bit after washing it to dry the brakes, or not use the parking brake after washing. Anyone else had a similar experience?
