I have a question that I have been unable to figure out... Did manual E60/E61s get the hill takeoff assist like e90s did? I'm talking about the feature where if you are stopped on a hill and you release the brakes they will stay on until you let the clutch out

I have an E90 335xi (factory manual) and an E61 535xi (manual swapped) both 2008 MY

The e90 has this feature but the e61 does not, should it?
I wired in the clutch switch (to both the dme and frm) and reverse lights and coded the car and everything else works fine with no errors

Hi, I have a 2008 530D manual estate and it has the hill take off assist? I am in the uk so I don't know about the usa! Paneuro

 

My 2009 535xi wagon has hill assist and a manual transmission. If I come to a stop on even a mild angle it will hold it for up to 2 seconds before rolling. I find it to be a nice feature that just works, I don’t think about it. I believe this is standard on E60s and E61s.

 

Correct ,

I have it on my 535 XI and it works pretty good , I just got the car and was amaze how well it worked.
