Can the BMW 5 Series perform a launch start?
1 Answers
BMW 5 Series can perform a launch start. Precautions for launch start: In the i-drive system, enter the drive menu, then go to the drivelogic menu and change from S5 to S6. After that, press the "M" button on the steering wheel to activate this setting, or manually shift the gear to manual mode "1" and then adjust the drivelogic to full. Turn off DSC, ensure the power button is on and EDC is fully open. Only in this state can the launch start be performed. Optimal RPM: Keep the gear lever pushed forward; once released, the launch mode will not activate. At this point, the brake pedal can be slightly released while fully pressing the accelerator. Then, the current launch RPM can be observed under full throttle. The driver can adjust the RPM up or down using the cruise control lever as needed, with 4000-4500 RPM being the most effective.
