I’ve been trying to get launch control to activate on my iX1, with iDrive 8, 07/2023, but with no luck.

I saw someone else here post about launch control with his iX1 running iDrive 9, so I’m wondering if it’s a software issue or if I’m doing something wrong.

I wasn't aware launch control even existed on the iX1

I wasn’t aware either, but I saw someone post it here with idrive 9 and also saw it on an iX2 video.

I feel it might be an iDrive 9-only feature but hoping that after the 11/2023 or 03/2024 update, it will be available for the iX1 on iDrive 8

You sure it's not just "boost"? I have an iX1 30, and there is no launch control...

1. Hit Boost
2. Put pedal to the metal
3. Watch the Model 3 Performance (next to you) kick yo arse.

Yes, I’m sure it’s not boost.. 🤣
Check out the launch control at minute 32:45 on the iX2. It even does the wheel vibration

P.s. the model 3 dual motor is already faster than the iX1. The model 3 performance is in a completely different league. But I wouldn’t want to drive that trash, even though it’s faster and cheaper.

Hmmm, just found a YouTube video referring to launch control on the iX1. Certainly seems to be ID8, though can't see any reference at all to launch control on either of the screens

I really doubt that was a launch control. He just had his foot on the brake and throttle pedals at the same time and then just released the brake pedal.

Agreed!
