Well I have on MY06 525 and I read that Manual Transmission cars that produced as of 03/05 will have a new assist for hill Driving, can anyone elaborate on this and what other Manual features were added for MY2006 with April '05 Production.
Peace

Its probably to stop you from rolling back when you have to do an uphill start.
Its a lot more fun when you have to play with the clutch and accelerator!

The hill start assist works well on hills whether you want to reverse uphill or move forward uphill. The brakes hold you for about 2.5 seconds. After that you start to roll. Note: the assist feature only works if you keep your foot on the brake before you clutch and shift. If you clutch and shift without your foot on the brake you will roll immediately. So you can do the 'retro rollback' if your heart desires.
