So after reading the manual and trying a couple of times I don't seem to get the flag. How long do you have to hold the shift lever forward for the symbol to appear? And can I program M2 to have the basic parameters done already (S3 and MDM off), then brake and hold the lever forward?

Oh and one other thing....this car is a blast to drive. The horsepower and torque are amazing. Ive had 4 BMW's in the span of 20 years and this one by far is putting the biggest grin on my face.

Thanks
I have had this same problem myself but Ive now figured out how to do it...Basically follow exactly whats in the manual but the launch control is only activated after everything up to temp which according to the manual is 6 miles of continuous driving although, sometimes i think more..

in addition, once you use it...There is a certain amount of time/mileage before it can be used again
