I think he means he somehow manages to lose every single drag race when he’s driving a BMW. Especially with DCT cars, he does a smoky burnout start (by flooring the throttle 100% including the kickdown button) instead of using launch control w/ between 50-99% throttle that will give the quickest launches. This bugs me but I mostly blame BMW for not making it clear that there are two types of launch control. It’s somewhat natural to expect full throttle to deliver the best possible acceleration but that’s far from the case with DCT.
