Maybe they put that feature in there so people will use it and then when something breaks they will say pay up.

little harsh there amigo. more power to you if you are able to afford brand new and willing to afford the depreciation that we see right off the lot (even if our m cars dont have it as bad).
just because someone did launch control doesnt mean the car is being beaten to shit. they wouldnt have put the option on the car to perform launch control if it wasnt capable of handling the activity. Plus if you buy a used M I would hope youd look at CPO where theyve maintained it to the specifications the factory wanted so you know the history is clean or as clean as can be expected.
i would highly doubt they "put that feature in there so people will use it and then when something breaks they will say pay up." bmw does not equal nissan.
