I have a 2014 550i Msport, so I'm guessing this works on mine since I have both Sport and Sport+ modes. I remember watching Matt Watson from CarWow saying he was able to pull quicker times in Bimmers by either not using LC, or not using the paddle shifters because if you miss time shifts, the car will bog.
I’ve used Launch control on my 335d f31 about 4 times on different occasions, 0-60 in 4.8seconds is thrilling 😎 but the last time I launched there was a real chemical type burning smell from the engine bay, I don’t think it was rubber / tyres and so possibly clutch, I’ve never bothered with it since, not sure I want a clutch replacement service bill from bmw!
You're not supposed to do it many times you need to let it cool down after one launch, they even mentioned not to over do it or do it at all since the clutch will wear down quicker
Hello, I'm doing all the operations including coding, but I can't see the active text. Bmw F11 2.0 184 PS 2013 LCI. What is the reason? Bimmercode Sportspansion Activ Expert Mode -3000 LC Activ not working 520 xDrive
Thank you mate for this video, I drive F15 2016 (4.4 Petrol engine with M-Sport package). No M logo on my digital instrument, should I try your video? And if I can get it, how can I update my firmware?
Hi, I have a 120d 2016 Msport. But I can't seem to get the launch control, does the 120d have this option. I have also checked the owners manual and it does not show the features.
Great video... while engaging the break... launch control. Is it a case of simply releasing the break to launch? With you foot still on the accelerator?
Yes. These days, many cars with electronic LC rely on the brake. Cars with forced induction benefit hugely from it. Personally, even though some setups can be a bit complicated, they do make it a fun and fairly easy way to launch how you would on a drag strip. Cars on the strip are usually setup with a line lock or a trans brake and a reverse lockout. All of these setups are designed to boost engine production and engage the drive train seamlessly when the car launches. Easiest way to do this is to "brake boost" which is what modern-day launch control actually is.
I have followed your instructions to the T, and no joy. I have a late 2014 EWG M135i with the zf8 box, and no matter what I do, or how many vids showing exactly how to, I can't get it to work mate. Help!!
hey! Great video! I just bought a BMW 330e iPerformance Pack M Shadow 2018. Does it have launch control? I tried everything you said but I don't see the message popping up.
Hi! Would it be possible have launch control in my 2011 F10 535i? it’s not the m sport but i coded launch control in Bimmercode to “aktiv” but i cant seem to get it to work?
That explains it. I have a 2012 F30 335 with S2TB. Coded launch control with Bimmer Code but cant get it activated. I need to update firmware. Best way to do it? Its MHD Stage 2+ if thats an issue?
thanks 😊 very useful you channel 😀. I got a m135i 2013 with m performance logo you mention you can update the firmware remotly ? i something that im interested please.
I got a bmw 330td which has been remapped as its an ex police car it's a 2010 but when I put mine in sports mode it says DS what does DS mean anyone???
Just bought a bow 640i 2013 M package (PWG), do you know if it comes equipped with Launch control? (haven't had the chance to try it since it came with some outer damage which is being fixed at the moment).
Got myself a used 2012 550i M sport today for a great price sad to know ill have to upgrade it for launch control but was wondering is it really worth the hassle? If i am fairly good at self launching? Also was considering upgrading the ecu. Always loved your videos when i had my old 2006 525i keep the vids coming
Doesn’t work on my 340i no matter how many times I try, doing exactly the same everything in sports on S1 foot on the brake all the way and press accelerator to 3000rpm .. and nothing
I would need your VIN to be able to check what your car is fitted with. Please message me on instagram with all the details of your car, And I can help you with that.
You can indeed my friend, tell me do you have extended instrument cluster ? If not can you find out your I Step level for me ? And I can tell you if you can OR you may need to change it.
Yes you are on latest one :) Same as mine ! As F30 Uses same as F20 I Step :) So You can enable it. Just let me know do you have 2TB In VO ? Sports Transmission

Im afriad to even try it on my 30d knowing my luck 😂
You're not supposed to do it many times you need to let it cool down after one launch, they even mentioned not to over do it or do it at all since the clutch will wear down quicker
Clutch? Isn’t the 335d a torque converter only?
@@M55ONO do it, I've done it once in my f31 30d xdrive and let me tell you its fucking good 🤣🤣
@@seechim that’s what I thought
Another top notch video mate!!! Keep it coming.

I have 435i on a 14 plate and wanted to try launch control. But if my car doesn't have it could I brake something even trying it???
I got a 2015 bmw 550i who can I take it to to get this coded? Mine is the sports xdrive and definitely will be capable of this. It just isn’t updated.
Hi thinking of buying a BMW M240I 3.0 M240I 2d 335 BHP 2017 and wanted to know there are any known problems like timing chains

You state how to "set up" launch control very nicely but don't mention "how to use".
That explains it. I have a 2012 F30 335 with S2TB. Coded launch control with Bimmer Code but cant get it activated.

What about manual box?

Cheers, worked on my 120d, you might not think but it goes pretty fast with LC👍
I've tried on my 120d and didn't work. Do I need to activate something else? Or it needs to be coded too?
