ohh and according to him, launch control on the 2014 model M135 auto is standard fitment...also doesn't need to have 2000km before its activated, he said its a bit complicated to explain over the phone on how to engage it, must pay him a visit and he will show me how to activate it..

He's wrong... 2 of our members both have a M135i auto. The 1 has LC and the other doesn't. The reason being is because the one has Sport+ and the other doesn't.
You need Sport+ to be able to LC

^ true! SAT option is needed. Can be coded though if you know what you're doing.

But you're also wrong about there being a DCT on a M135i :p There's only 8AT available on those vehicles. :thumbs:

It should have it. Have you tried the steps correctly to activate LC?

Look in the owners manual on iDrive. If it has "Launch Control" there you should have it. If not, unfortunately not from my experience. Not sure if it can be simply enabled by coding or in a software update on the early models or not like the new models.

Hey bud, I drive the M235i and used my launch control with like 200km on the clock, so no need for the 2000km drive in period

Put the car in Sport +
Switch the gear to the S mode (S1)
Foot on the brake and press the accelerator
And launch control is activated

Looks like this was only enabled for M135s produced from September 2013. There is no mention of launch control in my manual. Now to figure out if this can be coded
