So what happens when you're going down the road at 160kph and your kid
decides to poke the electric brake button with the red P on it?!

Per the Z4 manual, pulling the lever while driving activates the hydraulic disc brakes. I guess it can be used to stop the car bit its no longer an "emergency" brake to use if the hydraulic system fails.
BTW, you pull the lever to set and push the button to release, same motions as a hand brake.

it is in the center console right behind the shifter. there are 2 buttons: the bottom button says "auto" and the 1 above that is the parking brake "P". it should be electronic just like the audi A6 & A8.
