Hari,
Why do you have to pay for $40 more? That guy from www.slkfans.com sell it for $250 with shipping included. Anyway, how do you like it? Good, yeah?
Wow, I didn't see the cheaper price . I haven't bought mine yet. Still in the midst of ordering. Guess I'm cancelling it . Thanks for pointing it out man
But what kind of transmission is that? It only says for BMW..

SprintBooster comes in two different versions, the Automatic transmission one and the manual transmission one. Note the "A" at the end of the part number on www.slkfans.com. Thats what I'm told by all sellers here. They have different effect. If you put a manual transmission one on an Automatic, it wouldn't work the same way, and you wouldn't be getting the full potential of the product.

Hmm, I was told by the seller in the slkfans.com that the sprintbooster for BMW is generic for both auto and manual tranny...
