I chose YES and NO from your poll, since the question allowed selection of both

But I do not take it off. Mine's well hidden, you can't tell aside from stepping on the gas pedal.

I have never taken the Sprint Booster out of either one of my cars when they go in for service. I still get a chuckle out of my SA stating that my 545i accelerates much faster than any other one he has driven!! (He actually asked me if I had it tuned by Dinan!)

and if you do a forum Google search you get the following http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&cli...=forums.e60.net "Results 1 - 10 of about 1,230 from forums.e60.net for sprint booster"

leave it in always.. otherwise you risk somebody who doesn't own one swiping yours when you're not looking..haha
