I actually tried it few more time with DSC completely off and with around 4000 rpm, it works without any problem. Now i need to experience launch control in a DCT M3 to see the difference
Be careful Prince, I'm afraid if you try LC in a DCT you may jump ships to the DCT awesomeness.
Anyway, I don't think any good driver can ALWAYS shift right at 8400RPM when DCT would do it. I always drive my DCT on the manual sitting (S) and I HATE the automatic one (D) but of I think I need to go thru 1-4 redlining, you can't beat D for that.
