While BMW have insisted on keeping parking function away from the disc pads we have had this issue. E-brakes are the answer, but corrupts the purity of the disc brake function.

This "feature" has really irritated me on every BMW I've owned over the last 25 years. I find it quite embarrassing when I have passengers and the car lurches forward or backward an inch or two after I've applied the handbrake and then take my foot off the foot brake. The amount of slack in the mechanism is noticeably worse in my F30 than it was in my old E46 after 10 years and 120k miles.
