If I go out to my 328i, put my foot on the brake and FLOOR the throttle, I'll just get major wheelspin and f**k my rear tyres in seconds. I'd probably also get many funny looks from my neighbours.

If I put my foot on the brake, REGULATE the throttle (i.e. rev to 2000rpm) then let go, it'll practically result in Launch Control.

Therefore, LC on the 2014 models just makes the process easier. The driver can FLOOR the throttle, but LC will REGULATE it and not just take you straight to the redline.
