This is interesting for a few reasons:
1.) I've always done this and people always ask me about it, so I'm glad to hear I'm not alone!
2.) The X5 will be my first car without a handbrake and manual or m-dct so it seems weird to push a button ... no?
3.) Is this where people use auto hold? and does auto hold use the brakes or e-brake? anybody know?
