Can you adjust the launch RPM's like on the F8x's?

Or are you just letting off the brake sooner?

I really wish you can dial the RPM by 100 like F8x's
Not sure why they didn't add this feature

Miko,
Are the launch control revs not adjustable with the cruise control switch on the new M5, like the M3/4 F8x ?.

I had Ben at RG sport install the Racechip on my car this morning among a few other mods. This car hauls ass now and this is in the map 5 sport mode. Can't wait to see what it does in Race mode!

Thank you Ben!

You are a perfect candidate for a Dragy. SuperFast vs M5 numbers on the same Dragy, same driver.

Thank you for the visit.
My apology for forgetting to look into the issue that you have.

Also, please update me on that trunk spoiler. I know that it will gives me a nightmare.
So not happy how it came out.

I should've lend mine to him. I bought it and never actually used it since I got no open road nearby.

Has anyone tried a brake boost in 2 nd gear and timed it ?
It seems a lot of high hp cars running auto in the 335 do it this way.
I would try, for fun, but its winter here in Canada

RC race mode wheel spin at launch

Got my RC installed two days ago. The improvement has been very satisfied. I did few LC today with both sport and race mode.

Got 2.83 with 1 foot roll for 0-60. This is under sport mode and I could not prevent wheel spin with race mode. I tried to dial down rpm by cruise control button (knowing should not work but no hurt trying) and let go brake peddle sooner as well. Wheels still spun.

I tried the race mode earlier today. Has anyone felt the weight transfer to the rear of the car and the front wheels spinning as it shifts to second?

Yes...and a short shift also...

I kept getting quicker 0-60 with lower rpm launches. BMW DME logic is "if spinning, shift early".

Here is a 2.76 second zero to sixty with a 2500 rpm launch.

Four sticky tires + 3000 rpm launch + RaceChip would be awesome !

Waiting for winter to be over

Getting new tires and rims for Spring

Most likely I will go 285 front and 305 on the back. Want some low tread wear tires so they can grip better.

I’m told they are a bit noisy, but stick like glue.
