Hey there!
Yes there is an automatic and manual SB.
The manual one is very sensitive for manual cars. This is why people "usually" prefer to go with the automatic if they have a manual transmission. but to each his own. So if have manual, then u get to chose which to install
if u have an automatic transmission. Just order the automatic one. If u have a manual transmission. then maybe someone here who has the manual SB can give some feedback to our friend.
Tc and Enjoy the SB. Its a great feeling and a MUST TO UR CAR

some say it improves, and some say it kills. To me, i have 520i, 2.2l I6. Didnt actually see that much of a difference in MPG. + or - 2 MPG. more or less. But for those who say it kills MPG, its because the feeling is sensational that they keep on pressing the pedal to the metal. specially on red light. LOVE THE NEW ACCELERATION
