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.

Insurance premiums are determined by collision rate(s), cost, location where the vehicle is stored/registered (…e.g…theft rate(s)), etc…..not simply performance. Example: the insurance rate is/was cheaper on my Panigale V4 than it was on the cheaper [and lesser performing] 899/V2. Why? The cheaper bike is easier to attain and the collision rates were higher. My 992 C2S is a few dollars cheaper to insure despite being twice as expensive as my prior M4.

https://www.caranddriver.com/feature...-we-test-cars/ "All of our standing-start acceleration times also include rollout, a short period of time (typically about 0.3 second) that we subtract from the acceleration figures. It's a phenomenon that stems from the physics of the timing lights at a drag strip, where a car can be rolling for 12 inches or more before the clock starts." If their best run had a Dragy video to accompany — you'd likely see a .3 second slower time on it than what ends up in the magazine.

Am I the only one impressed by the performance/fuel economy ratio?
29mpg highway! At <3 second 0-60 is insane engineering feat. |

No, it's like taste testing 3 different types of oranges. They're the 3 main M cars and I think it would be a neat race. The Porsche 911 is a RADICALLY different car compared to an M3/4, but people compare them all of the time.
