In all reality in less your at the drag strip or showing it off to someone. How often is it really needed? I wonder if M DCT cars have a limit also?

This is the first time ive heard of the 100 launch limit. To me, that is BMW clearly trying to hide this information. They should have a launch control tracker on the car that we can view on the dash or the menu screen.

Ran across this topic while researching the new G80, and I'm pretty floored. I was considering a G80 AWD, X3MC, or M5C, however, it looks like they'll all be subject to the LC limit. Granted, I might not hit that limit, but the fact that BMW decided to build what amounts to a limited-ultimate-driving-machine just to save a couple of bucks is severely disappointing. It feels like they're faking it for as long as they think the owner won't notice, then cutting their warranty liability instead of just making a proper drivetrain in the first place.. pure bean-counter stupidity ruining yet another otherwise brilliant brand FWIW, this post is causing me to look at other options and I most likely won't continue as a loyal BMW owner (sadly). **Serious** black-eye stuff for sure. Imagine a competitor to any one of the above BMW options and the embarrassing commercials and advertisements all but write themselves. Instead of suing them (I'm sure they've boiler-plated their way around it anyway), someone (wink wink) should just hit all the competitor forums, Reddit, and elsewhere and let the court of public opinion show them the error of their ways. Perhaps then they might revert to the company we use to like? |

Mind blown. This is good to know. Thanks folks!
Porsche really shines here. Much easier LC, and is unlimited. Shame Munich can't do the same...

Learn something new every day... so buying used you really get hosed on this.
I now understand porsche making such a big deal out of unlimited back to back launches. A not so subtle dig at their countrymen. This isn't the most upsetting thing ever but it sucks and add it to the list of things pushing me toward P-car territory. |

I think the limit is 50 not 100. This is according to xhp which seems to make sense from my experience.

// edit: I've just dug a little into xhp and it seems that's a company/business that does something BMW-related. Two questions: 1. What is it they do? 2. Many of your posts seem to include xhp as a universal solution to... well, everything. Is this your company; do you work for them? |

From an engineering standpoint, I wouldn't expose it. This is more like a TPM measurement than a simple counter to my mind. They're trying to protect the integrity of their product—I wouldn't expose that as a KVP in Windows' registry... which to me is akin to what we somewhat blindly mess with through coding. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it? |
