Wow, can't believe with all of the deliveries this hasn't been laid to rest. It is either a mode one can place the car in purposefully and clearly with a noticeable effect or it is made up BS.

Would be neat if it were a real option, but I would bet most ppl here that get an F8x will either try 1-2x or not at all.
Lets just hope it's not a situation where the LC only works 50% of the time; and the other half it results in a smokey burnout. |

This feature is very clearly mentioned on the build page at BMW USA. Is the debate over actual implementation? To me it just seems like a the LC allows for a little spin before upshift when fully nailed.

Good find! Now we just need someone with a broken-in car to attempt this using the (somewhat esoteric) procedure described earlier in this thread. Unfortunately a failure to experience anything subjectively resembling a smokey burnout won't be enough to confirm no such feature exists. However in the event that one can positively identify there is something different from normal LC going on there, that would give us something for others to try to duplicate. |

Please, can we just bury this nonsense. It makes a joke of a great car and I'll be happy if I never hear this function mentioned again
Do it old-fashioned style. Stand still => DSC off => Floor it. |

Maybe on a greasy spot? Those rear tires are pretty wide, and this car's pretty heavy.

I just played with launch control for the first time and the rear tires were lit up the entire time until I got off the gas. More show than go. No indication that I had enabled smokey burnout mode, but I did stab the throttle to get the checkered flag on the dash.

Burnouts in this car are so easy to do I don't know why it even merits discussion.

DSC off + throttle = smoke Launch control checkered flag via stabbing accelerator = smoke Launch control checkered flag via slowly pressing accelerator = smoke MDM mode + throttle = decent launch Wish I knew how to get launch control to actually work. So far only the Michelin Man is happy with my progress. |
