 SMG Launch Mode



Acording to the manual, the launch mode is simply just put it in first, turn off traction, turn on sports mode and gun it.

I remember (a while back) reading somewhere that the launch mode can be triggered by the paddles on demand. Meaning i can turn on launch mode, gun it and the car will hover around 4K rpm for me while i am flooring it and then by the click of the paddle the clutch will close and launch me into space...


Is it just me or does that feature exist?

Thanks.

That sounds to me like the launch feature available in SMG II in e46 M3's.

What you read in the manual is what you get. You have to understand that the SMGs in the non-M cars are not as good as in the Ms. And on top of that the US version of SMG for Ms are detuned as compared to the SMGs in the European Ms.
