Does the E-brake on M235i use the disc calipers, or does it have it's own mechanism?

There is a small drum brake on the inside of the rear rotor that is operated by the handbrake cable.

Doesn't it say in the owners manual: at a low controlled speed at a safe location to use the emergency brake to slow the car, that this will prime the shoe surface from corrosion.

Also anyone think it's important to engage the ABS on wet pavement periodically to keep the ABS solenoids in top shape.

It does say to engage the e-break slightly every once in a while to prevent corrosion. I remember reading that, but nothing about ABS.

The ABS solenoid idea is not in owners manual / curious if anyone believes it's best to activate ABS every once in awhile to keep it working best ?

I thought ABS systems did a self check every time the car is driven? It was very noticeable on my old Dodge Dakota when it hit 15 mph.
