Any way to turn off launch control?

bmwlover0725 · 05-11-2020, 11:19 AM

I know it isn’t exactly launch control, but it’s similar. My BPM tune has been great, but it holds at 3.5k when the clutch is in and I’m looking to do a brake stand for a gender reveal soon and can’t break free easily at 3500RPM. Is there any way to bypass this or would it require a new tune?

Turn traction control off and press brake and then gas... brake stand will happen ...

Thank you! I figured I would but I wanted to check. It's frustrating because I like the feature, but I definitely need the ability to do a burnout when I want lol

Should definitely be able to break them loose on a 3,500 clutch drop. You can contact us for a file revision if needed. 4K or removing it should do the trick. You can also roll at 1MPH and then drop it up to 7K - obviously not recommended but you'll do a huge burnout.

Thanks Mike! This is why you’re my most trusted BMW expert and company. I did consider rolling forward and dumping it, but I prefer the function of being able to do it from a standstill. I’ll probably move it up to 4K and see how that goes.
