I would think that something like launch control would have to be integrated into the electro-mechanical systems in the car (hold the break, push button one, sport mode +, bring revs to 6000, release brake) and as such is not in the 3IS. Probably a very difficult mod

You can't launch control an automatic. The only thing that would be similar would be to use a high stall torque converter. Launch control just holds RPMs at a certain level until you release the clutch. Or in the case of a sequential manual box, until the clutch engages.
