There is no hill assist on E60 SMG.
When you let go of brake pedal on a hill, you roll back.
You had better use the handbrake when you park, too.

One more thing...on an SMG, NEVER use the gas pedal to hold the car on a hill at a red light, etc. It's the same as riding the clutch and it will burn it out quickly. As much as it feels like an automatic at a red light, it isn't. It's a manual...

I think the hill assist is a feature of the M3 SMG. Works by holding the paddles in a certain position, etc. and prevents the car from rolling without stressing the clutch.

One more confirmation. Definitely will roll back on a hill. I haven't read or heard of that feature on the e-60.
