tres-b Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 Yes that is correct.Ok, its been awhile since I did this but...How to use Launch Control---1-Turn off DSC and activate manual shift.2-There will now be an extra spot on the Drivelogic display. Crank up the DL until all spots are full on the display3-Push shift knob up to + position and hold it4-Push accelerator pedal down to the floor. The car should idle and not move.5-Let go of the shift knob and hold on.Important--Have plenty of room in front of you and to the sides. The cars back end tends to breakaway when you do this. Remember SHIFT GEARS!!! The first shift comes quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith86 Posted October 9 Author Report Share Posted October 9 I tried that but it will only let me rev up to about 2000 maybe 2200 rpms i get a ok start..maybe i did it wrong ...I feel the best way to start is when i just rev it quickly without using the stick then punch it and it rips like crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tres-b Posted October 10 Report Share Posted October 10 You should be able to push it all the way to the floor and the car will idle. It is possible that the feature was taken off for 2004. I have only launched in a 2003. Ill check w/ a friend who is a BMW guy and see what he knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
