My owner's manual is in the glovebox, in the car, in Germany.

The question I posed was truly inquisitive, and your comment piqued my interest enough that I did some research and found the thread that I reference. There was dispute in that thread and the issue was left unresolved. Hence my question.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that driving a car hard causes more wear than normal driving. We are all trying to figure out where the line is between having fun with the car and breaking it.

I will use this as a point of reference, and continue to research the issue, but am not convinced that BMW thought the car was strong enough to include a launch control but that occasional use will cause damage. I.e., the warning is likely just from the legal department.

I just don't get the "I got a secret" mentality.
Fine let's leave it there. My manual is also in the glovebox in Germany. I hope you have a smooth and speedy delivery.
