I currently have an E85 2008 3.0si (for a few more weeks while I wait for my E89 to get here) with a 6-speed manual.

I can confirm that this car DOES have hill-assist, a feature my previous Z4, a 2005, did not. And, I can also confirm, it's GLORIOUS. When on a hill at a stop, clutch, shift into 1st, remove brake and voila - you don't roll back. Just add gas and let the clutch out as you would on a flat plane, and off you go. It's so well integrated, you forget it's there, it's really no different then going from stop to go on a flat street.

I can't imagine they removed this feature in the E89.
