How do you use launch control on a BMW?
I just bought a BMW M3. In my research before purchasing, I read about its launch control feature. How do you enable BMW launch control?

Launch control can be a fun way to turn your car’s standing start into a much more satisfying and exciting launch. Intended for use on a flat road with good traction, launch mode is intended to enhance your vehicle’s acceleration.
- While in drive, come to a complete stop.
- Tilt the gearshift to the right to enter manual mode.
- Select Drivelogic 3 using the arrows on the gearshift.
- Turn off DSC by pressing the button on your center console for about four seconds.
- Press your brake pedal then your gas pedal firmly.
- You should see a message on your instrument cluster saying Preparing Launch Control or Launch Control Ready. If you do not, wait a moment until it comes up.
- Release the brake pedal to enable launch control.
Now that you understand how your BMW’s launch control system works, you can take advantage!
