I tried reaching out to local X5M to see how it is done and to feel how the braking system should be like. Fortunately there was an X5M for sale locally that I was able to test drive to feel the baking system.

Send me a PM and maybe I can help you troubleshoot. We could facetime or I can end you a video of how it's done. You're not along...this is what forums are for.

Keep in mind nothing about launch control feels natural for the car. The torque converter is designed for this.
thanks for helping out.. Im in Istanbul now and my car is in Kyiv at the moment couple weeks more i need to be here.. i ll keep in mind after i go back.. i had E92 M3 for a month it was really feeling like you want to do a LC.. but E71 X6M feels like not.. )
