Launch Control Failure?
Has anyone ever experienced a launch control failure? I decided to try my LC for the first time ever today (2018 M2 w/ 4000 miles); the car was warmed up properly with some spirited driving for about 50 miles before the attempt. I came to a full stop, turned off the DSC and put left on the brake and held it, race flag appeared, accelerator to the floor and RPMs held at 3000. When I released the brake, the car basically lurched a little and almost completely stalled before I let off the accelerator. I was afraid I broke something but got no warnings on the dash at all and the car drove fine after. After letting the car cool down for a few miles I tried a standing launch from a crawl in automatic mode and Sport +; the car accelerated but the car reached the rev limiter in 2nd gear and didn’t shift into 3rd on its own, I shifted after the RPMs bounced of the limited for a second or two. :-/
Any ideas what would cause this? Is this something I should ask my service advisor about at the dealership?
