330i Sport+ and Launch Control?

Just picked up my 330i xDrive M Sport. Two questions:

1. Is there a Sport+ mode? If so I can't find it.
2. If there’s no Sport+ mode, is there also no launch control?

Sport+ isn't available for the 330i, unfortunately.

Haven't tried launch control, but I think in the manual it mentions it.

I think you need Sport +

In my 340i, you put the car in Sport +, press down the brake pad as far as it goes, and press the throttle to the floor. A checkered flag then shows on your gauge cluster stating you are ready to go.

I had sport plus in my 428i xDrive... anyone know if this is a feature that can be coded to the G20? Has anyone coded a G20 yet?

I realize the 330 doesn't have sport plus but can someone tell me the difference between sport and sport plus. I think sport plus has even less traction?

Faster transmission shifts, that's for sure. Not sure about less traction control. Interestingly, the manual implies that it changes the suspension setting (I have the adaptive suspension) compared to sport for an even firmer ride, but I don't see that option for individual sport setting.

Sport+ can be activated on a 330i by pressing the sport button twice or for two seconds, not 100% sure. The 330i also comes with launch control.

I was going to say... that would be odd considering Sport+ is on the F30, and not reserved for a specific trim level.

Just press sport twice, then it will go to sport plus

the next time you start the car and press sport, it will automatically go to sport plus, without you have press it twice

Nope, I can post a video of it, tomorrow morning before I leave for work, if you'd like?

It's 11:40 PM here, so can't do it now

When I try pushing twice it goes to individual mode. I can customize the transmission the suspension and steering. That's all I have... hmm :
