Hill Assist?
I noticed that when I stop at a light or stop sign the brake remain engaged after I take my foot off the petal, until I provide enough force to release them (Manual), My Subaru STi had this feature also called "Hill Assist", basically helps so you don't roll backwards. I cannot find anything stating that the M2 has this or anything stating how to turn it off. Can anyone else confirm this happened to them or am I just losing it lol, if so any ideas how to turn it off?

I don't like it either. Maybe it can be turned off in a setting. Sometimes the brake releases too hard and it isn't smooth. This could be great though, for a new manual driver. |

This is a feature that exists for over 15 years now, at least... My 2007 E90 had it. My 2011 E82 did too. The G87 is no different.
If you're in 1st gear, the car will hold. If you're in neutral, it will not. Not sure why the car being held from rolling back bothers you, but it shouldn't hold if you're in neutral. I haven't tested it in the G87 because I don't like rolling back. |

I had hoped that following the release of the latest software update (07/2023.53), that the auto-handbrake enable feature would have been restored when parking.
Alas, no such luck. |

My car is also manual and I have verified that in neutral the system does not work. In first gear yes but I have not tried it with reverse gear. Does it also work with reverse gear?
This device was already available on manual BMWs in the 90s and I always found it very practical although it is somewhat abrupt. |

The idrive knob is definitely easier to reach in the manual.
I personally think piano gloss looks plasticy and cheap, I like the matte buttons. But YMMV of course. |

Agreed, while I was out over the last couple of days confirmed that if you let the hold release it won’t re-engage either, so very easy to defeat at a red light if you don’t want it to interfere.
