X5 launch control

X5chris · 07-06-2014, 12:20 PM

Does a 2014 x5 35i with m sport package have launch control?

phantomac2 · 07-06-2014, 12:36 PM

Doesn't every current F-series BMW with automatic transmission have Launch Control?

Nkbm82 · 07-06-2014, 01:01 PM

Only the m sport has it.

By saying only the m sport do you mean the m sport package has it?

sward · 07-06-2014, 01:30 PM

Actually it's the sport automatic that has LC. Sport auto is standard on M sport and, at least in europe, it can be ordered with all models of X5.

Nkbm82 · 07-06-2014, 01:44 PM

In the US you only get the sport auto with the m sport line.

Just tried the launch control on my 35i wow!!

stewy604 · 07-07-2014, 11:24 AM

I know I should RTFM, but how do you engage the LC?

Engage Sport+ mode by pressing button next to transmission, hard on the brakes, floor the throttle past kickdown, flag appears on dash, release brakes and hold on.

I thought it was the Sport Auto transmission that got it, looking forward to testing it on my 40D SE, after the run in period of course

I thought you had to 'double select' sport, i.e. select sport-plus on the rocker switch and move the gear selector to the sport position then brakes, throttle, release brakes within three seconds, Sh1t!!

You might be right, maybe I missed a step. I need to RTFM myself !!
