During the wet skid pad excercise, I was practicing my oversteer skid control and would give too much input causing me to spin-out. The instructor kept on saying both feet-in. I did but the brakes felt like I was standing on a brick and the car kept rolling to a slow stop.

All electric nannies were off. I do not remember my 135i doing this rolling to a stop. My instructor said it felt like the ABS was trying to work.

When I say rolling, I mean like half a car length before the car would come to a complete stop. Good thing there were nothing for me to run into.

Is this normal?

Has this happened to anyone else with a 1M?

Should I be calm during a spin-out and lightly press down on the brakes (with the clutch in of course)?
Just to check you haven't stalled?
