The perfect launch

It's a nice day so, like most I'm out for a little run this afternoon, both car and tyres are nicely up to temp, I come upon a nice quite straight piece of road. Ah ha an opertunity to "test" the launch control.



😳 Impressive for a stock motor, I guess it's starting to loosen up now there's 1500 miles on the clock

Very good time. I think that matches teastons.

Nobody got down to 4.0 secs dead yet then?


That's very good for a rwd Rob.

Great time.
I think I will have to try LC as only used left foot braking and then floor it in sport plus before. Still I think 4.7 for a rwd estate is non too shabby.

Can I ask the question how you have your laptimer in MPH as mine is only in KM/H. I have only looked on my stored runs. I have a iPhone 6s with latest software and newest software in my car.
Many thanks

I haven't got launch control activated on my 640d but a little left foot braking it tends to spin the wheels too much for a good time.

Managed 4.4 0-60 just in sport. Not too bad considering it's weight.

Both! M Laptimer app from app store, and it ties in with the M Laptimer app on idrive.
