DCS off, S6 on DCT, Sport mode on, Push DCT lever forwards, wait for chequered flag to come up on dash. Then push the throttle down. When ready just let go off the throttle.

I take it you are merely mashing the throttle, that is burnout mode, not LC

S6 is 'greyed out' even after having the DSC off I cant select S6 , any ideas why?

Are you in manual mode ? DSC has to be completely off and sport mode on.

Just pressing the button should put the DSC completely off, that's how ours worked. Never got a tiny bit of wheel spin with launch control activated

Yes but you have to be in S6 with sport mode on. My car won't use LC unless those criteria are met

Yeah sorry, I mean if I just press the DSC button and do everything else u said, then the launch control works fine. I know on normal E90s u have to hold the button down to fully disengage DSC iirc

It works the same on the M3. You have to hold down the DSC button for a couple of seconds until the DSC off icon appears on the instrument cluster and idrive.

Ah ok, weird. Ours never needed to do that. I tried holding it down once before but nothing else appeared. As soon as I press the button, it just showed DSC off

Mine takes about a half second push

Then maybe the E92's are different ? Or ones with M Dynamic ? My E90 with M dynamic also required a few seconds. So who knows
