2018 M550 Launch Control
So I can't seem to get the "Launch Control Activated" words to come up in the cluster. Sport+ Mode, Gear Selector to the left in Sport Mode, not manual, DTC Activated, Brake pedal all the way to the floor, Engage the throttle all the way to the floor, wait for the indicator.
I get no indicator and the power seems to override the brakes as it's slipping and not holding the car at a standstill. Any suggestions? |

This should engage and not try to override the brakes. If all of that doesn't work, then not sure what's happening.

Aside from pushing the brake harder, has Launch Control been used many times on the car? I believe that after a certain number of launches (~100?) it is automatically disabled. |

I find I can produce faster 0-60 times simply brake boosting. I wouldn't worry about the launch control programming non M cars , as you have to leave traction half way on to use it.

Good point. I get about the same results whether I use Launch Control or brake boosting with DSC completely off. My owners manual even says "An experienced driver may be able to achieve better acceleration values in DSC OFF mode."
