So just a lesson to be learned, don't launch an N55 Xdrive in 2nd gear.

I'll have to stick with 1st, should i let 1st redline? Shift at 6000? i typically shift around 5500 or so due to the crappy powerband of my powerplant
Dude I had that exact same problem! I couldn't launch in 2nd because of it!
