I'm pretty sure there is a hill assist. When I come to a full stop on a hill, the car holds the brakes until it starts moving again. But its only for a few seconds. Fairly sure the M5 will have it if a mere 1 series does. Seriously, Sakhir orange looks great! And the 19s suit the car perfectly. Enjoy the car! I like this pic

Usually in the past, you have to have the clutch in, foot on brake and be in 1st gear for it to work.

Not on my coupe. Just on a slope of more than a couple degrees and it holds you. One of my favorite features. Seattle has a couple hills....

There is a hill assist on the 6spd. I come to a stop, release the brake and the car will hold in place for a few seconds. I haven't noticed though if this is related to a specific gear or not though.

Thanks man.. I drove the car and confirmed it does have a hill assist while holding in the clutch.
