This can't be good for the transmission. Again, sorry for the question but I have a 6MT with my old 335i so this is new territory.

Thanks guys.
Put car in sport plus
Press traction control one time (goes to sport traction)
Move shifter over towards you (m/s position)
Brake to the floor
Gas to the floor (you'll feel a little click)
Says launch activated at bottom of the dash. You have 3 seconds to release the brake and fly!

Maybe you aren't hitting kickdown with the gas pedal. Press it to the floor and then it clicks and goes a bit further

Revs are about 2-3k I believe
