I believe it certainly will. I've just read the owner's handbook/manual (don't know why I didn't just do this before) and under the heading
Parking Brake, sub-heading
Releasing, paragraph
Automatic release for automatic gearbox it states:
"Operate the accelerator to automatically release.
LED and indicator turn off.
Under the following conditions, the parking brake is automatically released by operating the gas pedal.
>Engine on
>Drive state engaged
>Driver belted in and doors closed"
Does not differentiate between 4 and 6 cylinder cars. So differenece between my car and Jon D's / AC_S5's, must be due to production dates then.
Jon D - I suppose you will have an absence of similar text in your owner's handbook/manual?
Mine is "BMW 5 Series Touring, English VIII/11, 09 11 490".
