Need to have covered 5 miles I think before it will activate. Also, does not show lunch activated until throttled is hard down.

Did it with warm engine and miles covered. Maybe I need to put my foot down on the throttle a bit more....

Try pressing all the way...

Yep - pressing all the way fixed it for me - I was expecting the launch control notification to come on as soon as I started to press the accelerator so kept backing off thinking something was wrong. It doesn't feel as violent as the Golf R MK7.5, but it's quicker.

That's exactly what I did. As for the 7.5R, I think I only ever did one launch just to see what it was like.


hamera - ta. Didn't see that bit of the instructions!!!

How do you do it? Is there anything to code or mod to do so?

I've yet to try launch control in my M340i, but I will try it out this summer at some point.

The one thing I wondered though is if it's possible (using Bimmerlink or similar) to find out how many times launch control has previously been activated?

I'm just curious, and since I bought the car used at 2.5 years old.

Anybody know?

TIA

BMW dealers can definitely see it. Older cars had a "ANZ_RENNSTART_WERT" value that displays the number of launches but I don't know if that's still present on the G models.

OK Thanks. I ran a Google search on "G20 ANZ_RENNSTART_WERT" but got no hits at all, so looking unlikely.

Searching for just "ANZ_RENNSTART_WERT" I found references to a tool simply called "Tool32" but it was from 2017 on a M5 forum, so that's not going to work either.

Oh well! Worth asking!
