Correct. I had the gas pedal to the floor and launch control limits the revs to 2K. The car took off the a rocket and I swear it felt faster than just flooring it off the line.

Alan, I feel the same way, and its not barely, its much more noticeable. I really want to know what happens when you use LC over just flooring. How the hell can we get info, Im really not likeing this about this car. Everything is a mystery. I want black and white. Really annoyed actually.

Tried it with my 2014 535xd and I agree with the previous comments, WOW. With the diesel, the brake and accelerator pedals down, the car holds at about 3,000rpm until you release the brakes, then it just launches, no wheel spin at all (x-drive). So that is what 400+ lb-ft feels like when you full advantage of it. Can't see myself using this on the street, but if you have an LCI, you've got to try it on a back road at least once.

Alan! Awesome!
What are the avg 0-60 times with the LC for the 2014+ .. I'm assuming 4.3-4.5 . I would not be surprised if this car can do 4 Flat with a proper tune. That should put us at 500hp+ To the crank. And 530tq+ to the crank. (Conservative) I would love to see COBB come out with some support for the N63. |

BMW posts 4.3s 0 - 60 for the 550i xDrive. I'm assuming this was achieved with launch control? Otherwise, I assume they would have taken credit for the fastest time they could achieve with it. Most pros seem to "launch" the cars by bringing the RPMs up into the desired powerband, regardless... so this feature seems to simply automate what a skilled driver would otherwise attempt to do... and make it very repeatable!

Not sure if the BMW numbers we with launch Control but. I'll tell you this. When you floor it from a stop vs using launch Control. Car accelerates much faster and shifts much harder if you use launch Control.
My car chirps third gear when I start off in lunch control. If doesn't when I just floor it from a stop. |

I found this the other day.
http://www.automobile-catalog.com/pe...0i_xdrive.html They are claiming 0-60 in 4.0 with the quarter in 12.5. I don't doubt it for a second. There is also this clip that I found on youtube of a 550 racing a e92 M3. . First 1/4 was 12.79.

Thats badblack550xi's car and it is running the bms tune plus race gas.
Taking an E9X M isn't even breaking a sweat with the 550 especially the 2014's with the 445hp 480tq motor. Several people already verified it on this forum. Alan
