How-To.Using Launch Control in your BMW M with M Steptronic Transmission with Drivelogic.

In this video BMW How-To shows you that, when the ambient conditions are dry, launch control permits optimised acceleration on a road surface that offers plenty of grip.

BMW M3 Sedan:
Fuel comsumption (combined) in l/100 km: 10,1-10,0 (WLTP)
CO2 emissions (combined) in g/km: 230-228 (WLTP)

In order to use launch control in your BMW M model with the M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, the engine must be running and at operating temperature. The steering angle at the steering wheel must not be greater than 30°. Deactivate Dynamic Stability Control DSC. You can do so by holding the DSC button for around 4 seconds. Select sequential mode and the third Drivelogic driving program. Press the brake firmly with the left foot. Press the accelerator pedal beyond the resistance point, and hold. An optimum engine speed for pulling away is adjusted. On BMW M3 or BMW M4 vehicles with rear wheel drive, 2nd gear is selected automatically for optimal acceleration. A check control message “Preparing Launch Control” is issued. When it says “Launch Control active”, release your left foot off the brake pedal within 3 seconds to start. The vehicle accelerates. Upshifts are automatic as long as the flag symbol is displayed and the accelerator pedal is not released.

I don’t know if you’re gonna see this, but I recently got an M4 g82 competition model in the RWD package. I’ve turned the traction off, have the car in sport plus on all settings it applies to, and I put the car in manual mode (where it only shows the number instead of D1 it shows “1” only) and the cwr up shifts a gear by itself and doesn’t let me do the drift in gear 1… my guess is that i’m not in fully manual mode as i thought

First thing is, you need to HAVE a bmw M

[ilya]

Can you still shift gears manually if you're not comfortable relying on the car to do it for you?

[metalgeo]

Is there a limit to the number of launch controls you can perform with an M car?

[madla]

Most Auto journalists are getting this wrong

[totalkaos]

I've launched my x4m 2022 without all the bullshit you mentioned!! Put you car program in m2 with all the settings pre programmed. When ready to launch, all you have e to do is put your shifter to MANUEL MODE BRAKE HOLD AND GO.!
