When I took my 17 GS in for the 500 mile oil change I asked if they were having any issues with the 17's and all he said was there were some issues when people were launching their cars. I didn't put much stock in it as I was mainly looking for things like TC and Tranny problems of the past. He said no other problems so far with the 17's. The advantage of buying a car a couple of years after a new platform in introduced.

My understanding is if they offer the feature, they cannot limit its use in the United States to a set number of times (under our laws). That's why the launch control in my M3 is boring, it launches from like 1600rpm, whereas in the eurospec cars it dumps the clutch from 3500... but you can only do it so many times under warranty.
