I don't have DCT, but why did you turn DSC off ? Leave it on man. Wheelspin doesn't launch you any quicker. Launch control is supposed to just add enough wheelspin for an optimal launch; turning DSC off shouldn't be needed, as it might save a car turning sideways. I doubt BMW didn't take that into consideration. Try it.

How about when you floor your car on MDM, what happens? do you get a good launch?

I just don't like using launch control. I've done it three times in the past 2.5 years. One of the times was actually last week!! It was very fun and the car turns into a bigger beast, but I just don't like the feeling of dumping the clutch at 4500 rpm or whatever it is. I'll never do it again, unless my dad wants to see what it is.

then on the flipside, if DSC off and i floor it, theres no wheelhop, the wheels just spin and i do a massive burnout what confuses me is why launch control all of a sudden causes wheel hop. if anything, shouldnt it be similar to dsc off flooring and just do a burnout? |

I do not think they are saying you broke something. I think they are saying that if you keep trying this that something is bound to break. I know the feeling OP that you just want to get one sucessful run on this. I also believe your driving habits are beign recorded on the onboard computer but I could be wrong on this statement.

But generally speaking, it seems that BMW's launch control just isn't necessarily that good. I mean, it technically works - it allows you to launch the car from a high RPM, but many folks find that just mashing the gas in MDM mode (not so much DSC OFF, though that of course will work too) yields better results. I'll say that it works pretty good for me. At the drag strip, I got my best results using LC, and when I use it on the street I don't typically get any hop. Of course I have an E93 which is heavier than a coupe, and I also don't have EDC nor MDM (no MDrive). So that's a lot of variables that could explain why I have more success than others. |
