I have not been able to figure out how to use the launch control system on the x3m. Is launch control only available for the x3m Comp?

It is available for all models - check the manual for the very specific (and some would say ridiculous) requirements for activating LC.

No it is on all X3M models.

DSC OFF
4WD Sport
S3 on transmission mode

Foot full on brake

Foot full on gas (to the floor)

Wait 3-5 seconds and release brake.

I couldn't get it to work at first. My problem was I didn't push the brake hard enough. You need to mash it! And be sure to hold the throttle to 3k rpm. Then let her rip.
