My 2008 6 speed manual 335xi hooks up and has no problems with traction and wheel spin when I drop the clutch at almost any sane RPM level so I would assume my 2013 335XI 8 speed automatic coming in October should have no problem hooking up at 2000 to 4000 RPM. I am anxious to try it out when it arrives in a few months

It will be in DS/sport mode. It will hold gear to shift at higher rpm. And, this mode is automatic. While in that mode, lever moved the left, you can then activate "manual" mode by simply using the paddles or the lever. So, move the lever to the left, it's in DS auto, pull the lever or paddle, it goes into manual mode. Let us know how you do at the track. Try using DS auto mode, and then try doing the shifts manually. Don't forget to set driver mode to 'sport" for the more responsive throttle. I prefer it, others don't. For me I really like the responsiveness and it feels more linear to me. Comfort and Eco throttle is kinda bland. It'll be interesting to see what times and speeds you get between the two. Also, if you can get enough runs, try shifting at different rpm, like around 6K instead of at or near red line. These engines have great torque, but it dies well before red line. Some with 1 series cars say you can get quicker times by shifting well before red line. I can't speak to that as I've never timed my 135i. If you can get some video that would be great too. |

Kinda disappointed. Best of the night was a 13.6 @101. Only ran 4 times :
13.7 13.8 13.9 13.6 I couldn't get off the line, but I'm not sure why. Could be wheel spin, but I didn't hear it. Just seemed to dog out from the line. Heres what I did each run: Sport +, DS 1400rpm launch auto shift Sport +, DS 1800rpmL auto shift All trac off, DS 2200rpmL paddle shift round 6k, but too early a couple times All trac off, DS 3000rpmL paddle shift round 6k I can show slips later.

I doubt it, but I could be wrong, other people feel free to chime in...it started in 2014, and as another owner said, the sweet spot is at 1800 RPM. Mine is Xdrive, so it could be different on RWD..

I was curios about the actual factory Launch Control rpm, which for 328i seems to be 2600. I'd assume 335i to be lower. Any 2014 335i owners can chime in? |

My 14 335xi definitely has LC (with the little flag and all). Like may others have listed: Quote:
If you are going to try LC it may take a couple attempts to get it right. Make sure you hold the brake down hard and slam the throttle. Its a little counter intuitive at first. |

Launches at +- 2500RPM with the little flags on the right cluster corner (Extended cluster), very sweet! But with RWD, wheel still spins more than I like, which ios why I'll go with 20", 275/30. May add an LSD also to help.
