Launch Control is available when Drivelogic is set to the most aggressive manual shifting mode, S6, accelerating the 2006 BMW M6 to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds on the way to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph. To use Launch Control, deactivate the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system, hold the SMG shift lever forward, and press the accelerator down all the way. The engine automatically revs to 1,600 rpm, and the car will not move until the shift lever is released. When the shift lever is released, engine speed rises to 8,000 rpm while the M6 launches with automatically balanced clutch and wheel slip. From there, the driver bangs off manual shifts. The result is a standing-start launch just as flawless as what a pro driver could muster with a regular manual transmission, which means you don’t need any talent whatsoever to make the M6 fly. However, you cannot use Launch Control at every stop light. The system requires several minutes between launches to keep from overheating the clutch.
