Why though? Even I won't use launch control on my ZHP. It puts a lot of stress on the engine. Other than that, Sport + mode only turns off traction control which you can do manually.
Sport plus doesn't just turn off traction control. That was true in pre LCI F30. Or more accurately it turns on DTC on the older models only but also makes the car more aggressive than sport on newer models.

Do you have a link to an explanation of that?
I was under the impression Sport and Sport + has the same throttle map and exhaust flap setting

There have been several threads discussing it and the general conclusion is that that was true pre-LCI

Maybe, I definitely feel a difference in my 340i sport plus vs. sport, so i usually drive in sport plus. But it is not just the trans that shifts differently. I feel like sport plus shifts in D like sport shifts with stick to the left. But also launches harder and less lag off the line and generally speaking.

Yes, I can code it if you have a laptop with ENET cable
Sport plus on the G series works differently than on the F

Has anyone tried launch control? Does it work? I didn't find any entry in coding about it

I can confirm 330i delivered to Australia also has sport+ and launch control.

Which module did you code to enable it? I'd like to give it a shot.

Sat in a Dutch 330i literally an hour ago. Press sport twice and it goes to Sport Plus. If that isn't available in the US, must be something continent specific.

There is Sport plus mode available, just press sport on your center console and then go to the main screen, there you should have the options Sport - Plus - Individual, just tap the screen and that’s it.

Not sure about Launch, I was wondering 'bout the same thing...

Wait. You have a NA spec car which shows launch control activated and checkered flag on the live cockpit when you do as you said? I’ve done the exact same in my car a few times but no launch control notification. It brake torques to around 3000rpms before launching.

Yep, my NA m-sport 330 shows the checkered flag launch notification as well

From my brief reading you need to have the car warmed up, and have been driving for a few miles to ensure it is warmed up before launch control will be available. Not sure if you tried that VipinLJ ?

Sport+ is linked to adaptive suspension: so only available when equipped with that.

I drive an M-sport 320i without adaptive suspension and only comes with Sport (and sport individual obviously)

Launch control does enable but not in the right way. Following the procedure from the manual the notification "launch control" pops up in the control panel but the revs are not managed correctly. Holding the brake down while applying throttle will instantly send off the car but not in a smooth and efficient manner...

Clutch will be dead soon if you try too often!

That is crazy! I’ve tried it thrice till now. I’ve driven the car around for five minutes for it to warm up (like I do/did with my other cars).

Car in sport individual + dtc off + transmission in M/S + brake pedal to the floor + throttle to the floor -> revs rise to 3k rpms before I take my foot off the brake and car flies. But no checkered flag on the live cockpit.

I wonder if it’s because I’m in sport individual mode and not sport mode? My sport individual is everything in sport except steering which is in comfort.

Try regular sport mode, make sure you really push the brake down hard with your left foot and make sure you floor the gas to achieve kickdown. I had an issue getting it to work the first time you really need to press the brake hard. If that doesn't work, check your manual in the car to see if it had launch control instructions. Otherwise it may only be for m-sport models.
