6MT Launch Control

Any tunes currently offer a 6MT Launch control feature? Example- set certain rpm limit/ antilag?

None that I've heard of.
I honestly wouldn't count on it either.
Best launch control with the 6MT is spending some money on sticky rear tires.

Eventually we値l probably get a 2step to build boost off launch. I知 sure once most of the mapping is ironed out we値l eventually get custom logic on the DME with BM3 like the N54 did after a little bit

The turbo on the M2 is so small, and spools so fast, there's no need for boost launches.

If you install an 82mm turbo, then you might need 2step.

Weird that the M2 doesn't have the same launch control feature as the M235. With the M235, you select Sport+ and at a stop, floor it, and the revs hang around 3500rpms. Admittedly it's not very effective for maximum acceleration. I'm far better with modulating the throttle myself.

It does, but we're talking about the manual transmission here (6MT)

Really? That's so weird man. I never heard of a manual transmission BMW that had a rev limited launch control like you explained.
Maybe the M2 does the same thing. I've never even thought to try it.

I read about mt launch control on the 2 series forum. Tried it on my m2, and doesn't work. It'll rev to redline

With BM3 you can modify the maximum revs in neutral but I知 not sure if you can manipulate the logic that determines if you want the limit.

It will definitely happen when they map it out properly, just like flat foot shifting, cold start delete, and all the other goodies that are generally available in the tuning market. This is pretty standard stuff.

Also, its more than just beneficial for the massive turbos, it also just flat out results in better times. When all you have to do is floor it and release the clutch at the right time, it removes the extra movement to push the gas pedal. I know, it seems insignificant, but launch control and flat foot shifting is hands down faster for the vast majority of drivers that aren't launching their car every weekend at the strip to maintain muscle memory.
