I'm not sure what your native language is, but your translate is terrible. What you wrote is not really comprehend-able.
I don't know what you tried to get launch control working with a DCT, but I can tell you that you need Kick down enabled.
Car must have been driven 6 miles before it actives. And traction control off.

my bad i was on my phone and auto correct took control like always. So this kick down needing to be enabled what is that exactly, an option in mid when choosing a map? i do know about the 6 miles needing to be driven and that you need traction all the way off so hold the button down till it says off. and i put it to M1 i then hold the brake with my footi and with my other foot slam on the petal till i feel that click on the bottom end of the petal it starts to rev but then after 1000-1500 it dies down. i keep hearing make sure kick down is enabled what option is that and where is that so i can make sure its enabled. i was told that i can go to a bmw tech so they can refresh my transmission swell. that worked for someone. just have to find someone that can as my car is a salvage rebuild title.

Kick down disable is a flashtime option in MHD. If you didn't select to disable it for a flash, it's not disabled. It's a short press for DTC, not long press/all the way off (that's for M3).

It does need to be driven a minimum distance and probabaly at temp.

Short press DTC / partially off
Sport button on
M1
Left foot hold brake
Right foot full on the accel pedal quickly, past the kickdown notch

Should get the checker flag and rev. Release brake to launch.
