it is in the center console right behind the shifter. there are 2 buttons: the bottom button says "auto" and the 1 above that is the parking brake "P". it should be electronic just like the audi A6 & A8.

It works well on the Z4. Strange at first but you get used to it.

What will these blasted BMW engineers think of next? They're taking everything away that we control ourselves. Like, where is the flippin' hand crank? Instead of getting to walk out to the front of my car and feel the engine turn over and roar to life as I muscle that crank through its circle a few times, I just press a button on the dash. Where's the fun anymore??? I'm so disappointed!!!
