The electrically controlled e-brake on newer BMWs will apply braking force to make a .5g stop, if memory serves. (I might not have the g force correct, but it puts the anchor out without locking up.) This was discussed at a BMW CCA instructor seminar not too long ago and the answer was provided by BMW executives. Parking lot testing confirmed it - a forceful slowing as long as the lever is pulled up. No advice on hitting the P button, but I'm not trying it!
