G80 6MT owner here:

For the 6 speed transmission,
- Sport Plus on all settings (suspension doesn't matter)

- Put car into M Dynamic Mode (MDM). This should be the middle setting between "DSC On" and "DSC Off."

- Clutch in, shift to 1st gear

- Mash the pedal down (do not gradually press the gas; you must press the gas pedal down fast enough to activate the launch control)

- Hold gas down. The instrument panel display will first say "preparing launch control," then will say "launch control active" when boost is built up and ready

-Drop clutch and go!

*************************************
For the 8AT transmission: here's the excerpt from the owner's manual:

Have fun!
So for those that have tried this and said "release" or "drop" the clutch, can you be specific please? Does one literally side step the fully engaged clutch pedal?
