Launch control

[Snip3r]

Morning Gents, how do I know I have launch control? There is somewhere in my manual talking about launch control but I've tried it and I still can't get it right, I'm starting to think maybe my car doesn't have?

If you have the 6 speed steptronic box, I doubt there is launch control.

I've got the DCT

The above procedure seems correct, The are some prerequisites that are required like the car would need to be warmed up and stuff, honestly not sure of the rest.

A good way to check is on your iDrive Screen Vehicle Manual. If you can search and find launch control on there then you have it. The onboard manual is specification specific.
Other ways to check: Do you have paddle shifters? This normally indicates that you have the 8spd Automatic Sport Gearbox (Option 2TB under your optional accessories) which is required for launch control.

I have all the stuff..... but I get too nervous to use it :blueCry:
The thought of putting my left foot on the brake and flooring the car just does not compute :roflol:

Just confirming you car is an e92 335? if yes then the gear lever in the PIC above indicates its a DCT and you should have LC :coolShake:

:sorry: I just totally gave you info for the F30. :thumbdo:

The procedure that you have attached above is the same as the E92 M3.
With the DCT that you have there is a slightly different procedure, something about moving the gear lever down into sport plus etc. I am not sure exactly what it is. A friend of mines with the 135i has the DCT and he has used the launch control and mentioned that to me.
I will try and get the procedure from him and let you know.

Incorrect, the DCT E92 M3 uses the shift lever to activate launch control, the 335s work in the same way as F82 M4, as described in the original post, barring the fact that M4 needs traction fully off.

E92 Dct LC is as follows

gearlever to the left,
sport button activated,
1 or 2 presses on the dtc,
foot on the brake
engage manual gearshift using your paddle
foot flat down on accelerator paddle until checker flag appears
remove foot from brake and enjoy!

Also remember to floor the accelerator pedal past the kickdown button.

Road surface plays a major part on how the car pulls off the line. Try and find a good empty spot to test this, in case you go a little sideways, you will nonetheless have lots of fun.
