I had SB installed on my 545 about a year ago. And yesterday I installed second one on my MINI and third one will go on wife's X5 - it is just unbearable to switch cars and don't feel what I feel in my 545. SB is a must to have

As the rest of the 10000000s of users. This is ROCKS. Car should have come feeling like this stock! I dont know if its me, but car feels faster(placebo, or butt dyno says haha), definantly much much more responsive. Sport, Step and dtc off, wow!!!! Must for all 6 series guys...

Sounds great! One Q, does it void the warranty from BMW Canada?
Just to be safe, remove the SB before you take your car in for service

should leave no trace of use/install on the DME/ECU...the SB does not manipulate signals really, just increases throttle response, as if you were flooring it.....so doubt it will void warranty.

Add me to the list... wow... I cant understand why the car doesnt come like this from the factory! I had a little fun with mine today. Put it on sport mode and turned of DSC. Cheap, essential mod!
