I have received my 525i last week. According to the manual, climb assist brake is only available for the 4 wheels drive models (525ix, 530ix), ie. vehicles equipped with the HDC (Hill Descent Control). I don't know about the rest of DSC+ functions (emergency breaking, rain preparation, stop comfort) I have not see any difference when breaking to full stop.

Did you guys have E60's before week 9 to compare?? After a year I still have trouble stopping without it grabbing at the end.? But then again I set off the alarm 1 out of 3 times opening the trunk too?

I was thinking exactly the same merv - in fact I've experienced a tiny amount of roll back on a hill! And I certainly haven't noticed the stopping to be any softer.

[/quote]I've noticed that too - I just thought it was me not being used to the engine - that's really annoying, almost like the box doesn't engage quickly enough.
