The auxiliary sliding caliper is for the Parking Brake which is Hand operated (rather than foot or electrical) and is quite sketchy TBH. It has absolutely nothing to do with Hill Start Assist (my road V12 Vantage doesn't even have that function).
What was the reason for them ditching the drum style parking brake? Was there some EU regulation that mandated it be electrical or is this just one more gimmick that other manufacturers were doing and BMW didn't want to be left behind?
