Brake Failure

Experienced the following when driving yesterday :

I was driving in a HDB multi storey carpark looking for a lot. As the carpark was practically full, i had to drive all the way to the top level before i see some empty lots. As i was trying to back in to the lot, i felt the brake pedal suddenly hardened and lost braking power. I had to really tap very hard on the brake pedal to make the car slow down and park into the lot. As this was my first time experiencing it, i was quite shock and thought it was a one off incident and proceed to run my errands hoping it will go off when i came back. After i finished running my errands, went back to the car and disappointed that the brake problem still there and as i am on the top level of the mscp, i had to drive slowly and tapping the brake hard to prevent any accident. When i was out of the mscp and on normal driving, the brake problem slowly disappear and till now it is still normal. Anyone experienced such problem before ? BTW, i am driving E90 PFL 320i...

Re: Brake Failure

No idea when was last done as i just got the ride two months ago.. Never experienced since last two months and no alarms/warning signs.
