How To Use Launch Control on BMW M-Series Vehicles

BMW-M.com has posted an excellent video tutorial for properly using the launch control feature on M series BMW vehicles. Check out the video below:


The first step is to warm up your vehicle. After a warm up lap or two, you can proceed to the second step which is to turn DSC off. Once DSC has been disabled, you need to switch the car from automatic into manual. Its also important to speed up the gearbox by switching drive logic to level three.

Now you are ready to launch. With your left foot, press firmly (pedal to the floor) on the brake, and keep your foot firmly pressed. With the brake firmly pressed, apply full throttle with the right foot on the gas pedal to generate kick-down. This activates launch control, and a checkered flag will appear on the instrument cluster to verify it has been activated. You can then adjust the RPM by using the cruise control lever. The optimal RPM setting is between 3 to 3.5 thousand revolutions per minute. Now for the fun part: Keep your foot on the gas pedal and simply release the brake to launch!

Have fun, and drive safely.

Facelift For Bavarian Police Force BMW Vehicles

For the better part of 20 years, Bavarian police cars were manufactured with silver BMW 3 series vehicles. Prior to the silver color scheme, these vehicles sported a white base coat. Recently, the Bavarian government has decided to revamp their BMW police vehicles in terms of a color scheme. The new color scheme draws inspiration from the nostalgic white base coat used prior to 2003.  Modeled after their previously utilized retro white, blue, and yellow color scheme, new Bavarian BMW police vehicles have gone back to their roots by shedding the apparently outdated silver and green paint job. All new Bavarian police vehicle will be manufactured from BMW 3 Series Touring models with the new color scheme. This shift comes primarily from BMW's discontinuation of the Glacier Silver base color for the 3 series, but a higher resale value for white vehicles might also be a variable.  In contrast to the prior white Bavarian police BMWs, the new vehicles will be manufactured with a Mine...

2022 BMW X5 M Render Revealed

Based on recent spy photos of the new 2022 BMW X5 M model, a concept artist has rendered a very realistic, and potentially accurate, rendition of the vehicle changes. Although the exterior changes are minor compared to the 2021 model, the rendering shows updated headlights, a redesigned lower front end, and an added lip on the competition model.  In comparison, the majority of changes are reserved for the interior of the vehicle, and these updates include larger screens and a seamless curvature inspired design.
