Not sure if other tuners add "launch control", but technically you can't have launch control in a 43. Not possible, because it has a torque converter. What they call launch control is a software function to brake boost off the line. You can do this manually by standing on the brakes and carefully give it some throttle to take the engine to the stall rpm of the torque converter, just before it starts transferring power to the drivetrain. This will build engine boost, and then let go off the brakes. Just be careful to not damage the torque converter by giving it too much throttle. True launch control only applies to transmissions with a clutch as found in the C63. That way the engine can freely rev, and the computer does a controlled clutch drop when you let go of the brakes.

Even the new M3/M4 is an Auto and no longer a dual clutch.
Is the Launch control just software engineered brake boost?

Yes, just computer assisted brake boosting for all of them.

Hi
I understand what you saying I have searched i lot I found this but it to expensive for me to do because I don't live in the US unfortunately.
You can look on this company that makes the Launch control like BMW etc https://shop.amrperformance.com/prod...cial-features/
take a Look at what they offer. I wonder how they can do it and nobody else can!
