Honestly my friend has an E46 M3 and that car actually feels faster. I was a bit confused after getting out of the car. A couple times i even checked to make sure we had the M Mode on. I wish we tested the dam Launch Control though i completely forgot about that.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Two points:
When you're talking 'bout M Mode, you mean the M Dynamic Mode which loosens the DSC interference? This has not much to do with how fast the car accelerates from 50mph on, which leads me to the question which throttle mapping you did use while your test (co)drive? Normal, Sport or Sport Plus?

Besides that unless you (co)drove an M3 with the new Double clutch transmission (unlikely) there's no such thing as a launch control.


Best regards, south
