330e Auto handbrake

BMW have serviced my 330e today (2020 model) and now when you park and press the start/stop button Park engages but not the handbrake?

Any ideas if this is a software update? Oddly there was no tyre pressure info either and it had to gather the data? I've looked through the settings and it doesn't seem to have an option for the Auto handbrake.

Did you used to have auto hold switched on?

My handbrake only comes on if I've got auto hold enabled when parking.

My 2020 model 330e only engages Park after pressing start button to park up and does not engage handbrake - it never has. On all my previous BMW its always been the same.

If autohold is on, the handbrake will engage when you park.

Mine's the same! Isn't this the case with all BMWs with electronic parking brake?

Yes, that's the way they work. It is what I like about mine in the F11.

Without Autohold switched on, you have full control of the parking brake yourself.

The park is engaged, it's the hand brake? I can't find the setting in the menu however? Is this easy enough to set? So many things have changed on the settings since they serviced the car 😕

Is there a way to leave auto hold on all the time so it is automatically enabled when you start the engine or do you need to press it every time you start the car?

It should remember the last state you had it in. If you turn it on and don't touch it again, it should stay like that.
