Bad ABS??

So quick backstory of the car. 2014 335i w/ M-sport brakes, no Warranty

So my rear brakes were starting to stick/drag. It becomes more prominent if use a good amount of brake force but then if I mash my brakes it loosens up, yes i know its bad to do that but did it to test out if it loosens.

Took it to a small bmw shop near my job to check it out and he ended up checking around and believes its the ABS system being faulty because as soon as he unplugged the ABS unit the brakes did not stick what so ever like putting the prominent brake pressure and then get the sticky or dragging brake feel, its all gone. He told me that i may need to change out the ABS system and its not cheap.

Any alternatives or fixes i can do myself? tried searching but maybe im searching wrong because im not able to find much :/
