What RPM does it launch at?

Trying to figure out best way to launch my manual.

Around 4,400 using acceleration assist.

But I think its a bit too much it squeels the tires more than it needs to. Its not as sophisticated as the M5s Launch Control.

Yeah that seems like a lot.
I get pretty good launches at 3000 rpm.

I'm a little nervous about trying at higher rpm then that.
