Launch control on a 2013 X5M

Hi guys,

I just picked up my 2013 this past friday. It was brand new, and I have about 500 miles on it right now. I looked at some videos on how to activate the launch control, and I did exactly what I was supposed to, however the checkered flag does not show up on the info screen for me (i know i shouldnt use it until i put some miles on it, but I wanted to make sure it works).

I was told by the service guys that the launch control doesn't activate until the car is "broken in", and when I asked when that would be, he said the car automatically "unlocks" the feature since there is no "break-in service" like there is on the M3.

Is there any validity to what I have been told? Can someone shed some light on this issue, as well as whether or not there is indeed a break in service required, and at what mileage interval?

Thanks a bunch
