    Is there a way to adjust the rpm on launch control

    Was wondering if anyone knew so a way to adjust the rpm on the launch control. On my 11 M3 it is preset to about 5500 rpm which is totally useless. I need to cut that way down to get my 60' time down.

    Thanks for the help.

    Yeah he don't know much. A little more than me, but I don't know crap.

    Obviously on a 2011 M3 changing the launch control setting is done by cycling the high beams and washer pump while holding the gas pedal to the floor.

    I was being facetious. You will likely get a better answer by Google searching something such as "e90 dct launch control rpm"

    You forgot to put the armrests in sport + mode, put in the red key, enter your password, and hold down the m button for 35-36 seconds.

    Thanks.
    I am a drag racer and this is one of my daily Driver's so of course I have to get all the performance it has out of it. I post questions and get almost no help at all. I'm sure there is people here with knowledge but it is s bit frustrating when you are on a team that runs a 7 second quarter mile pushing to get into the 6's and you get people taking to you like your clueless.
    But thanks I'll resort to other searches.

    Can I see a 7 second 1/4 slip for your 11 M3 ?

    Thanks I know you can adjust it about 500rpm but that is not even close to getting it where it needs to be. We need to be able to adjust about 4k out of it. BMW really screwed up with setting it at 55-6k. completely useless.
