@Youssef Idali ow I see

[@imyeg6]

Bet there is a M badge on the back too.

[@williamoakes664]

He’s right though….the non sport gearbox doesn’t have the paddles and won’t do launch…just sayin 😊

[@TurnStyle72]

Omg. Thank you. This is the best video on this. The thing I wasn't doing was quickly putting the accelerator down - was too easy on it. 😊

[@Reedypz]

your steering wheel is on the wrong side my friend

[@prokashdebnath5748]

Nope, it's the correct side.

[@philipkeeling8647]

You mean it's normal.

[@antdx316]

I read somewhere that if you cannot find launch control in the owners manual of the iDrive then it's not coded for it. All features and options that don't come with the car won't show up in the iDrive. I didn't bother doing it as I don't want to ruin the car. Can you check to see if you can pull up Launch Control in owners manual search in iDrive?

[@wussyd]

Yeah, I had heard the same. And, I have got Launch Control in the iDrive owners manual.

[@zetecfiesta]

Thank you so much for this video!! I was really annoyed why I couldn't make my 335d do it. I wasn't pressing down the kick down button lol

[@wussyd]

I was doing the same, making the back wheels spin even though the brakes were down hard. Pleased it helped.

[@zetecfiesta]

wussyd I could never make my back wheels spin 😥😥

Sport + it is Launch Control

[@ronniep9272]

Why not just have a launch control button that does all of this?

[@bodrulm1]

I don't get it. When do you release the brake? at which point?

[@wussyd]

That is a fair point. I didn't cover that, sorry. You need to release the brake within three seconds of getting the "Launch Control" words on the dash.

[@bodrulm1]

wussyd Do you aim for a specific RPM e.g. 4000? There must be an optimum that the system can calculate depending on the conditions of the surface.

[@wussyd]

bodrulm1 No, the electronics does all that for you. If you have the "Launch Control" come up on the dash, then the launch control system will regulate the engine speed and aggressiveness of the traction control for the surface conditions.

[@AN4MER]

launch it then

[@DodgeCity111]

I see the comment section is full of master mechanics.

[@simonbttger5630]

just a question, how come launch control always demands to have DSC off, is it always better to turn DSC off launch control or not? when doing an 0-100 km attempt

[@thesimpleonel2391]

Yes if your wheels alip a bit your car will turn of power for some time

[@simonbttger5630]

TheSimpleOne L shit, i thought it was only some cars that did that?:0

[@MegaFregel]

Simon Bøttger no all cars do it for safety reasons but you can turn it off in a bmw. And yes DSC OFF (stability control) means DTC ON (traction control) and is always better for acceleration.

[@mihaimanea6657]

little parked yellow car "the other light" (you said it several times) ... meaning ESP OFF ... esp meaning electronic stability control. You're welcomed.

[@wussyd]

Appreciate it.

[@bpheta]

Man!! Thats not the full story. Thats why im always smoking other BMWs. Its sports plus, push left on the gear for S1 downshift for M1 an kick down till 3000 RPM for red line shifts. People dont do the last two thats why they're diesel cars shift at 4,500 RPM... my car on a lauch will red line before shifting and its a diesel.

It is not really a "first attempt" is it?

[@alejandroverdejomingorance8129]

Can you do it but with out taking dsc of

[@Tom_Selleck308]

Do all 330d F3× models come with launch control as a standard feature?

[@wussyd]

It should be. As far as I know, it is available on all those with the Steptronic Sports Auto gearbox which does seem to be the standard option on the 330d. Best check is to search for Launch Control in the iDrive owners manual. If it is shown, it should be available.

[@ross4384]

Why the fuck can't they just make a button????

[@wussyd]

The boy racer in me agrees whole heartedly! But, the nerd in me knows that it is the designers way of making sure you really want to use the option and not activate it accidentally.

[@zetecfiesta]

they also don't want you doing it all the time, it hurts the gearbox

[@giorgiomoisidis101]

Hello my friend bmw 330d is reliable car?

[@soawn29]

Giorgio Moisidis yes

[@donciak]

Hi, i don't have sport + but i have steptronic (420d f36 2016) should it work right? sport+ is an optional, just need traction mode as you say right? or need som3 other special equipment?

[@wussyd]

Hey. It seems to be the Sports+ that has the Launch Control so I don't think you will find it on yours unfortunately. Best way to check is the onboard User Manual as it is personalised for the features of your car. If you don't find it in the electronic manual, then it isn't available.

[@dimmacommunication]

donciak Steptronic is 6 Gear right? To Launch It you have to break boost It.

[@donciak]

dimmacommunication i got 8 gear, but not sport+

[@dimmacommunication]

donciak I think sport + comes with the " sport gearbox" package

[@superaikas177]

All this fuss and no launch? Not enough you waste you time but alao our time :D

[@everything777]

He's showing you how to set it up, not what a launch looks like. Also would be a bit of a dick speeding off videoing on a phone 🙄

[@five1088]

2014 328i xdrive. I don’t have sport+ mode. If my car doesn’t have sport + mode it automatically mean doesn’t have launch control?

[@dimmacommunication]

Jaden Park I think so :) people with old torque converter cars with no launch control used to brake boost the car to launch it. You press the brake pedal and the gas pedal for a sec and release it. I don't advise it tho.

[@five1088]

dimmacommunication mine is 2014 is it older torque converter than one in the video?

[@dimmacommunication]

Jaden Park Nope, it's still the ZF-8 gears right? but I think that not having the sport+ mode maket it unable to do this. You can brake boost as I said,but it gives the transmission a lot of stress, in extreme sistuations it can even break ,so be aware of it.

[@MotionPlays]

You have to have the sports transmission for launch control which is an option on most BMWs. Even though it's the same 8 speed ZF box for the normal and sports, the sports transmission has the flappy paddles on the wheel. Basically no flappy paddles then no launch control

[@rolandas1215]

Just update your gearbox trough computer

[@henrik1743]

lol, you dont need to disable traction control

[@mcdusfl]

we have traction control then................. we have a light :-)????

[@LETHALF90]

mcdusfl warning you its off.

[@andyw3152]

So would you then floor it and take the left foot off the break?

[@wussyd]

Your accelerator is on the floor anyway, so you do just release the brakes. The electronics take the brunt and work out the most appropriate power and traction for the conditions.

[@WeAre-ip5ud]

wussyd how much quicker is it than just transferring your foot from the brake onto the accelerator and flooring it?

[@nsoper19]

is this a dual clutch gearbox or a regular automatic?

[@wussyd]

It's the regular 8-Speed ZF "Sports Automatic" box. I think that the DCT is only available on the M cars, although I may be wrong...

[@dimmacommunication]

wussyd Yeah :)

[@dimmacommunication]

wussyd And the old M3 e46 sequential gearbox was garbage😂

[@liverpool45879]

Don’t work for me

[@Williamwallace-f92]

Very bad for the automatic transmission

[@sippe3985]

it puts huge amount of stress on the car. if you use this every day you will break your car. its intended to only use very occasionaly.

[@sippe3985]

some cars even go as far and say you can only use launch control 5 times after that you will void your warranty.

[@lume.3887]

It's fine for DCT or a non torque converter auto, but it puts huge stress on the torque converter, as it's engaged whilst your applying lots of power, and literally only the break is holding you back, you can see how the car will roll forward as the engine overpowers the breaking force, whereas with DCT transmissions, the clutch is disengaged and no strain is put on the drivetrain

[@Pequin1000]

karma police Maybe just Christmas and birthdays 👽

[@serkanindustries8147]

That isn’t launch control;)

[@dimmacommunication]

Serkix Jinx It is 😁

[@wussyd]

Thanks dimmacommunication, I agree, it is launch control, the BMW book says it is. However, I am aware that purists have a different view of Electronic intervention vs foot feel launch: Electronic launch can be seen as cheating. However, we BMW drivers need all the help we can get apparently, so all praise the BMW electronic gods.

[@SoliiD]

wussyd this is launch control for a automatic indeed... the other person probably means the manual launch control where flames are shooting out of the exhaust :D

[@dimmacommunication]

Chesney That's antilag :)

[@SoliiD]

dimmacommunication i know ^^ like launch.. only not electric

[@audirs142]

If u wanna launch control just buy an M3. 330d isn’t quick.

[@MrAsdfcool]

Audi RS ohh fuck off

[@cfoust100]

Lol I've seen 330d's and 335i's blow M3's away with basic bolt ons and a tune

[@cfoust100]

@Michael how do you figure? Let's just say you ran a 335 with a bm3 tune, catless downpipe, and meth I would say that would give u close to 100hp or more depending on boost. Stock m3's usually have about 100 more horse power then 335's just saying

[@cfoust100]

@Michael yeh but for the price of an m3 you could spend like 20k on all the parts and still not be as expensive as an m3

[@cfoust100]

@Michael yeah you can't pass emissions without a cat but where I live you can apply for a 2-year emissions stamp so I only have to take it off once every two years not too bad
