Brake hold feature
are other E63S owners having any luck engaging the brake hold feature when at a red light? When I push the brake pedal down some more after the car is already stopped, it’s not engaging the brake hold feature like the owners manual says it’s supposed to. I’m trying this on level roads and not any sort of incline. Thanks.

Use your left foot to push down on the brake pedal. That should work since if you're not used to left foot braking, your left foot will be really heavy on the brake.

Works for me.
Pretty much the same as my jeep or minivan. Just press the brake peddle firmly.
On the jeep it actually engages more readily on an incline. Haven't paid much attention but will experiment with the E63 and see if it matters how level the ground is.

Thanks everyone. I tried stomping on it harder and got it to engage. I guess I was being to gentle on the pedal, since it's still in it's break in period.
