you have to have driven for more than 10 KMs to get it engaged, right??? Launching this thing is so different from the launch control in my M3.

Here is how to activate it. Straight from 2016 manual Requirements Launch Control is available when the engine is warmed up, that is, after uninterrupted driving of at least 6 miles/10 km. Start with launch control While the engine is running: 1. Press button or select Sport+ with the Driving Dynamics Control. TRACTION is displayed in the instrument cluster and the indicator lamp for DSC OFF lights up. 2. Engage selector lever position S. 3. With the left foot, forcefully press down on the brake. 4. Press and hold down the accelerator pedal beyond the resistance point at the full throttle position, kickdown. A flag symbol is displayed in the instrument cluster.

I have the M sport package so I know it has the LC feature. I thought I had driven 10 Kms or so before trying but i guess I didn't. I will make sure to exceed that barrier this time. Thanks thanks gents!!!

Definitely fun to play with, especially at lights from the right lane. Good video Kzang.

Eyes wide open - from the manual:
The use of Launch Control causes premature component wear since this function represents a very heavy load for the vehicle. Do not use Launch Control during the break-in period. |
