Just a quick tip: when you launch wait a little longer before letting off the brakes so the turbos have more time to spool up

FYI, M cars look for engine and transmission oil temps to be within normal operating range before it will allow launch control… won’t engage if it’s too cold or too hot. But with the F85 using the ZF auto, it’s torque converter being a fluid coupler is not “dropping” a clutch like a DCT or SMG would… so aside from the driveline shock, wear and tear on the tranny is negligible. Any accelerated breakdown of the transmission fluid caused by frequent use of launch control can be easily remedied by preemptively changing it.

Bro. Finally got a new(ish) X5M. Heres my inititiation: kzitem.info/news/bejne/o6ils2d5oKOdjaQ My Launch control didn't work that time tho! It didn't shift into 2nd. But sometimes it works, sometimes not. I see the checkered flag on the dash so I know for sure I'm in launch control mode, but it just randomly doesn't work sometimes. Any idea why?
@eddiemcars

I’m not sure. My M3 was like this too. Inconsistent launches. Sometimes it would spin the tires through 3rd and other times it would hook and go. Thing to make sure. Manual mode(it will shift automatically) Make sure your foot stays on the gas pedal past the resistance point (should feel a button under it that’s called the “kick down”switch) If you lift off.. even slightly, it will automatically cause launch control disengagement.

From my experience, it launches great the first time. If I try to launch it again with the cool down, it doesn’t launch as hard.
