Hi fellow Z4 owners!

I am about to put a deposit down on my first Z4, a 2009 plate 2.5 sDrive23i.But before I do, I would like to ask any members who have a similar model a question about the electronic parking brake and performing hill starts. Does it have an autohold feature? there is no button marked autohold, but I was told by a salesman today that it definitely has one. The image below is an example of how my EPB looks on the car I have viewed today. If it doesnt have one I can imagine doing hill starts in traffic to be a bit difficult.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I know there were issues with some of these bring sold with hill assist, but not actually being delivered with it. Carol M for one had this issue. 6 Dyke cars might be ok though.

Double check this car has it. Best way find a hill and test yourself.
 
Ours has it.
Basically if you sit with your foot on the brake on a hill when you release the brake it takes a second before the brakes let go giving you plenty of time to move off.
