Launch Control
Just found out how to use launch control last night. Car has 1600 miles so it's ok to use it. Holy smokes it is twice as fast as it is without it!

Yep it's easier then it sounds and explained in the owners manuel also. Stop your car, put it into sport+ and pull shifter over to m/s. Put your left foot hard on the brake pedal, push the gas all the way til it bottoms out then bring it back off a little (you will know it worked when you see the little checkered flag I. The bottom left of your guage cluster) then pull your left foot off the break and reapply full pressure to the gas and enjoy!
Way faster auto shifts and stays in max hp rpm's. Put a big smile on my face first time I did it! PS don't do it too often because when you bring your car in to bmw they can see how many times you did it incase anything breaks! |

I thought launch control was just about that initial launch? Aren't the faster shifts just due to putting it in Sport +, or are you saying faster than even in normal sport +?
