Hows it going guys. I know this has been talked about but im not 100% sure yet.

Best and most effective way to launch 335i?

I was at the track recently and it was all trail and error for me.

I also learned about the kick down feature om the gas pedal and was weary about running into it when launching.

So here's my questions

(i had dtc completely off)

1. Is it even possible to launch from 1st? I did nothing but spin when i attempted this, already knew it would happen but i had to try it for myself.

Would a proper set off drag radials allow someone to launch from 1st for the better times?

2.launching from 2nd gear and manually shifting shaved a whole second of my time. Is this really the only way to drive the 335i at a strip?

Ive seen videos of people running excellent times with no paddle shifting. But without them theres no way to launch in any other gear other than 1st?

I did try limiting the 1st gear througu the jb4 but i didnt get to try it very much after i noticed what 2nd gear could do.

3. Drive vs Sport drive? Obviously shifting at higher rpms and a little bit quicker shift times?
But people have said to shift at 5.5kish?

Ive read people saying that DS puts you in 2nd gear. This is untrue as i messed it and it would always put me in 1st gear.

Lmk what you guys are doing im looking to get it down for next time!

Thanks
