I have a automatic 99 E320. I've noticed that at hills(inclines) (somewhat steep, but nothing out of the norm) the car will roll backward when it's in drive if my foot isn't on the brake. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?
My 2001 CLK Cab rolls back; very disconcerting at first, as my 1993 190E doesn't.
I have been wondering about that rollback, but you're saying it's normal these days.

My E240 rolls back on inclines, too. My Audi A6 didn't move an inch backward, though.

Which models of MB come with a handbrake?
My old W123 (RHD) had one.
RHD model, right?

That's what I wrote, right?

I use the drive-off assistant. Just give the pedal a little extra kick until the cluster says "SBC HOLD" and it's engaged. The 2004 S211 Estate with brake-by-wire has it (as well as the next generation M-Class and GST). Won't roll back and drives off normally on inclines.
That's one feature I miss when changing back to older cars. When rolling back I find myself pressing the pedal with this little extra kick, and it wont "take".
