Normal on our BMW cars with the mechanical drum handbrake.
Varies according to adjustment, but the reason.... the brake shoes have a common stop block, from which the brake shoes move outwards on application, causing a clearance, which means there is radial movement.
Wheels can therefore rock 'to and fro'
within that clearance once the handbrake is applied.
Depends on how and where we stop, in relationship with applying Park on the 'box, whether we really notice it or not.
