I think you're absolutely right.

My Ride: 2005 525i : Alpine White, Steptronic, Black Interior with Amethyst Leather & Popular Grain Brown, 17" 122-Style Rims, Adaptive Bi-Xenon Headlights, Auto Dimming & Folding Mirrors, Advanced A/C, Sports Steering Wheel, Electrically Adjustable Steering Column, Extended Lighting Package, PDC, Sliding Armrest, Bus Navi, Hi-Fi Sound System (MP3 DVDs), CD Changer, Rear Sunshades..
MODS:M-tech front bumper, Painted Grill, Installed Aux-In, Garage Door Opener (Overhead Compartement), ///M Steering wheel, Wood hand brake trim, Wood gear-shift lever. 35% Tint all around..
Got, ACS Roof Spoiler, but not installed..
when the car is on and the engine runing the brake has a hydrolic pump that acts like a booster to the brake and makes them feel alot lighter...but when you turn off your car the system stops working..so it feels heavy....
the thing is..what if you were dirving and the engine shut off while driving then that would make the brakes heavy...probably take superman to properly brake from motorway speeds...so the system has a safety feature that alows a few more light presses before loosing the bosster efect..just in order for u to stop safely..
if your car is in the garage go press the brake pedall a few times. and it will get heavy..start the car, they will get light. turn it off..and press a few more times. they get heavy..check this out....im also asuming that perhaps the system also loses its preasure over time..
this happens in ALL cars...well atleast all the ones i know...
