Got launch control to work. But it probably worked before. Never looked in display. I thought it would be just like My Z4 35is. With that car (DCT) the Transmission disengaged and engine hit 4000 rpm then when you let off brake pow. This is way different. Like trying to powerbrake without spinning wheels. Not a fan

I cannot for the life of me do launch control.
Sport + left shift off breaks and gas. As soon as I pass 2000 rpm I do a burnout and flag does not display. I tried about 20 times. |

Have to press the traction button once or twice and then it should allow launch control. Do that in conjunction with the shifter and sport+

Tongue hanging out with 900 miles on the M4C out of 1200 miles before 1st. mandatory service. Don't want their system logging LC starts before the service.

BMW uses confusing nomenclature. I'm guessing it is for marketing reasons.
Below is a description of the various "M" variants from BMW taken from BMW Markham's web page. BMW M Sport

Its a bunch of fluid & filter changes they do on the M series. Also said to unlock LC. Not sure if thats real. On my 2011 335is DCT LC unlocked itself at 1200 miles.
Notice has already come up on my panel.

I could be wrong, but the quote is talking about 2 different cars: the Z4 and the M4C.
It confused me, because I have no real idea what BMW makes beyond the Z4. As such, looking it up, M4C refers to possibly the M4 Coupe or Competition (?) which is what (I guess) people refer to as a 'true M car'? |

The M4C is an M4 Competition car, signature picture, & does have the 1200 mile service requirement. FWIW the Dragy time I listed for my Z4 is not in LC. Have used LC but not with Dragy

Not a fan of launch control
After having this car a while my 2cents: On this car it is just not needed as it is a rocket and dont want to wear on the transmission (that said 90% of the time i am in sport+ mode). I also have it on my 2nd gen NSX and it makes me cringe on that car. It is supposedly "mild launch control" on the NSX as it only revs to 2K before launch and combined with the electric motors the torque is too much. Car hits so hard on launch it is scary and you feel like something bad is going to happen. On these fast cars its not really needed and on the cars that need it, no such capability is available.

Thanks for this post - was wondering if the M40i had launch control... I am still getting through the first 1200 miles - why such a long break-in? - so hard to keep my foot off the throttle...

Every moving part down to the tires (200 mi or so) has its specific break-in period. The transmission in these cars is very complex & just adds to the issue. Little extra push on the throttle as the mileage get up there is not going to kill anything but its still a good plan to stay out of WOT, LC & kick-down till the clock says it midnight. Just went through it with the M4C & its getting to Dragy time when the streets warm up. They have a strict 1200 deal on the M cars where you have to go in for fluids change & inspection at 1200 miles or they can bust you on your warranty (so I am told) if you have a failure later on.
