Launch an automatic 335i

What is the best way to get a good launch in an automatic 335 ?

1. Good rubber.
2. Dry road.
3. DCT off.
4. Hold brake.
5. 2500 RPM.
6. Release brake.

Sounds about right. only thing i can add is Play with the RPMs and throttle. A little higher a lil lower depending on weather, tires, etc. But thats he hit it on the nose. thats a good starting point.

Some RWD guys are launching in 2nd gear and have made good results with that.

And of course take it out of D and put it in M1.

canrhea · 06-11-2009, 11:45 PM

I think I had it in DS last I tried

MCMLXXXIX · 06-11-2009, 11:51 PM

hmm. anyone have problems with holding the brake to 2500 RPM? seems like everytime i try it, the car starts jerking and starts to move with my foot on the brake
maybe im going over 2500?

^ I get that too and I just step harder on the brake to keep it still until I'm ready. It's rough on the trans so I wouldn't be doing this all day long.

I use a Vericom VC2000 performance computer to measure acceleration and found slightly better times in DS rather than D. I just let the car shift. This might sound weird too, but my snow tires really HOOK UP - like drag radials! Full throttle, no spin!
