Sure you can... that's what I have on my 535i. The clutch in the 535i is relatively light. Nice linear engagement.
The car does include hill takeoff assist that's always on. It works very well. When you take your foot off the brake when at a stop, the car will keep the brakes engaged for up to about 2 seconds until you have lifted the clutch enough for it to start to engage. It's very smooth and handy on hills. Absolutely no drifting backwards.
The only other reason I can think you'd need a real e-brake lever is to do something like e-brake spin turns or something.
