Parking Brake question (Design) ?

With my previous E46 and now the E90 I have this irritating issue where the parking brake (handbrake) pulls up max. and does not hold the car on downhills. I have informed BMW dealer of this and they says this is a common issue. When dealer adjusts the brake, it takes right down on 1 or 2 clicks and works nicely for about ~3 months, when it slowly clicks up more and more and then eventually does not hold the vehicle even if you really force it up with both hands. Is it because of disc pads wearing down or what ! Come'on - I can't be the only one having this issue ??
