Launch control on M cars only as far as I know.

All 14 5 series have it, so I think you should also have it.

Only one way to find out...

Press the DSC/DTC button once to enable "Traction"
- Knock the gear lever over to its sport setting
- Left foot firmly on the brakes
- Right foot to the floor (past the kickdown notch) on the gas
- The car should then rev to a pre-set point and the LC Flag appear
- Let go of the brakes quickly

Do not let the car rev for any longer than 3 seconds.
Ensure the car is fully warmed up (at least 8mls of non-interrupted driving).
Do not steer when activating Launch Control.
