Default hill stops

Does the AP1 have the "anti-roll" like most new cars? ex. you stop on a hill at a traffic light.... does the car roll back when the clutch is pushed in and break let off? or does it not roll back like an autpmatic or my grandpa's Z4

I didnt even know something like that exists!

No s2000 can sit on a hill in neutral without brakes. Automatics cant either if the hill is steep enough. I have never heard of anything like this....you sure the Z4 has that? Im pretty sure Ive seen Z4s roll back before.
