You live in Shanghai? that's my home town.

Anyway, remove your license plates and push your car to the limit after 1am because that's the only time with no traffic in Shanghai lol.

No need to remove the plates, there are still some areas with wide new roads and no traffic cams......
This city has become my hometown too....

My 2000 KM (1,200 Mile) service is scheduled for May 29th on my e92 AW/Black interior ... then on May 30 I'm off with a friend to the Ford Museum followed by a factory tour in Bowling Green in the green state of Kentucky. Should be fun to see how the Corvette is made.

On this trip we will slowly test the ///M3

I'm 188 miles but only 5 days away from mine

Have you set/tried your "M" button?? Launch Control???

Quote:

Launch Control enables an optimum acceleration
when starting off on a road surface with
good traction.
Do not use Launch Control too often; otherwise,
the powerful stresses on the vehicle
will lead to premature component wear.<
Launch Control is available when the engine is
at operating temperature, i.e. after driving continuously
for approx. 6.2 miles/10 km.
1. With the engine running, step on the brake
with your left foot.
2. Activate Dynamic Traction Control (DTC),
refer to page 90.
3. Activate Driving dynamics control, refer to
page 62.
4. With the vehicle stationary, activate the
manual mode and select 1st gear.
5. With your right foot, push the accelerator
pedal past the resistance point. The engine
speed for pulling away is adjusted. A flag
symbol appears in the instrument cluster.
6. When you release the brake pedal, the vehicle
accelerates. Keep the accelerator pedal
floored.
7. The upshifting occurs automatically as long
as you keep the accelerator pedal pressed
past the resistance point.
Launch Control will be ready for use again after
you drive a certain distance.
Launch Control is not available for use during
the break-in phase, refer to page 126.
To maintain driving stability, keep DSC
activated whenever possible.

The information you posted with regard to launch control is wrong.

Per owner"s manual, DSC needs to be DEACTIVATED. And you need to press the lever forward and hold it
Then press the accelerator down.
