1200 mile service no launch control?

[MLAW702]

Had my car in for its first service and im at 1142 miles they performed everything needed and said once the car hits 1206 the launch control will work? i wanted to go to the track tonight and run the car looks like i will have to do without launch control for now.

That does not make sense. When you do the 1200 break-in service no matter the mileage they launch control should be active unless the did not program the car properly

I did the break-in service at 10xx miles, and was not able to use LC. I am now having 1200 miles and will try it after 1300 miles. I heard the LC will be enabled after 1250 miles no matter whether you do the break in service, and the break-in service actually does not do any programming.

From BMW Tech Manual:

pre-delivery
check
must
have
been
completed
and
reset/confirmed
with the
Integrated

Technical
Application
(ISTA)
(do
not
reset
by
the

service function,
as
otherwise
the

They confirmed they did the ISTA and said at 1206 it will Turn on . Yea I don't buy it either maybe mine wasn't programmed correctly

Just follow up my previous comment. I did check my LC yesterday at 1280 miles and it worked! It was not working at 1100 miles after break-in service, which means the LC will be enabled after 1250+ miles as well as finishing break-in service.

[MLAW702]

has 1247 miles and no launch control 6 dealer visits in one month is ridiculous

[MLAW702]

Maybe I need another 3 miles ? Lol

[MLAW702]
