R56 Hill start assist is part of ASC as well as DSC

That's what I thought and what I've read as well. According to the online info on Miniusa the brake assist option is only with DSC equipped vehicles. As a matter of fact, in the downloaded manual on page 55 it states,
Hill Start Assist*
Hill Start assist is a component of DSC and assists you in comfortably driving off on inclines.
I'm afraid you probably misread that section r56mini.

I did look on page 55 and it starts off the section on the Hill Assist feature exactly as I quoted.

I like the hill assist feature, but you can just heel toe to get started on really steep hills. Don't even need to use the hand brake just hold the foot brake down, clutch out slowly when clutch barely starts to catch, slide other foot over to the throttle while still holding the brake down add some gas, and then release brake and clutch.

I know what you mean, I think the hill assist feature is great I didn't try to imply otherwise, just that you can take off smoothly up a hill without it or without a handbrake. However I know I'll totally get used to it and then when I drive a car without it one day I'll make an *** of myself.

If you don't have hill assist fear not...those of us who do will likely lose our hard-won launch-on-a-hill clutch skills and further the general decline of Western Civilization. Launching on a hill requires nerves of steel, lighting reflexes, and keen jusgement. It builds character. Hill assist lulls one into motoring atrophy and is for sissys. I confess, I have hill assist and am becoming spoiled for life!!!
