Dear forum members that have the three-way adjustable Sprint Booster and I need to know the followering:
1) does it have a smooth acceleration or a "jack rabbit" racey acceleration on your e60
2) is it worth the $299.99 cost from Bav Auto?
3) how well do you like your Sprint Booster? Would you buy it again or recomend it to us forum. Members?
4) Any heads up I need to know before and when installing it on my 04 e60 530i
5) does it decrease the MPG in the Green or Red light mode?
Thanks in advance!!

1. You really have to get used to the jump off the line. But once you get used to it, you can get it pretty smooth.
2. I bought mine (V1) from a member for half the cost of them new. It is definitely worth a hundred or 2 but $300 is up to you to decide...
3. I would recommend it. It makes the car drive like it should have from the factory.
4. Just need the right tool (I forgot what kind of pattern it is). It's a super easy install.
5. Can't speak for the modes but I definitely get worse mileage with it lol. Instead of flooring it all the way down... I only need to press it half way down haha

1) does it have a smooth acceleration or a "jack rabbit" racey acceleration on your e60
When in green mode its smooth...on red with the tranny in DS it jurks if you hit the pedal to fast
2) is it worth the $299.99 cost from Bav Auto?
Yup!
3) how well do you like your Sprint Booster? Would you buy it again or recomend it to us forum. Members?
I wouldn't drive without it now. Although the HP gain is exactly 0 its drives so much smoother because of the lack of lag...I recommend to anyone
4) Any heads up I need to know before and when installing it on my 04 e60 530i
Follow the (simple) instructions while installing, so to avoid errors on the iDrive...get the V2 version so you can shut it off, or in green mode while stuck in traffic
5) does it decrease the MPG in the Green or Red light mode?
I noticed a slight decrease the first few days...now I just drive with the red setting and DS mode![](https://5series.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/twoup.gif)
Good luck deciding!

You have to unlock the car, open the door and then leave it for 5 minutes or so...I was to exited to wait and pulled the gas pedal to soon, so an error appeared. Just repeated the procedure and all was fine afterwards...just read the manual

cool--thanks!
quick question, does anyone's accelerator feel like it clicks at the very end of the WOT right before it touches the floor? i just noticed this the other day, thought it'd be wise to take it in to the dealer BEFORE i installed the SB for warranty purposes. they said it was normal and on all bmw's??
