tried it. like it. makes the car feel more responsive, more zippy.

for anyone considering. u can just go down to bvo and put it in go for a test drive. takes no time, plug and play to install. 5 min job at most for wee. so by all means go try it.

Wah, sounds too good to be true. Wonder will this void warranty and any side effect on the car over the long term. Also, wonder when it is appropriate to install. My car just completed 2500km, barely ran in.

What is the damage to the pocket? Any pricing info? Where is BVO?

calling all 523i best mod available.go and get that eccentric throttle device. dam amazing non invasive plug and play mod! read in bmw.sg forum
Hi 1628. Is this device really that good? How does it function? Does it amplify what you input on the throttle? If so, when you reverse, do you feel unwanted force?

Sorry for being so sceptical but I am thinking of some slight mods for my E46-320.

It's dam amazing!!! All you guys here in the E60 forum must try this electronic throttle booster!!

U dun have to ask how, why, wat......just go down to BVO & try it out......dun like, just take it out.

Trying is free!! kekeke

For those who have not read wats going on in BMW.SG forum, here's the thread!!

Hi, sounds like a miracle. Cool, interested by my E60 525 just clocked 2500km. Can fix or not? Also, will this cause the PML warranty be voided? How much will this set me off?

Interesting but how does it work? Could it be another accelerator booster device that magnifies how much you floor the throttle. Like flooring 2 cm is equivalent to flooring 4 cm?

Exactly what I said; it amplifies your input. One will be tempted to burn rubber everytime he pulls off the traffic junction resulting in high petrol consumption. It'll be a great device for those driving the 520 because hopefully, the increase in speed of input and input itself may cure the car of all the jerky take-offs, etc. Another group who will benefit from this will be those who track often.

Wah, if I fit into the M6, I'll really need the WING option, plus a petrol truck in tow

Good, better then what I expected. But a bit disappointed about the video multiplexer, if what was told to me is true. Basically all other ports are useless if we want to use audio and video together. Now I undrestand what you were trying to say the time. The audio would have hissing sound ( according to the installer) unless we use the tuner input. I would test this
The tuner quality is good, I had tried driving around in the east( katong and Nicoll highway. I had the reverse camera cable and power installed, just need to plug in the camera when I have it.
They are coming down to install the MAC-Mini tonight. Let you know when it is up.
One more thing, I called up the tuner manufacturer to ask the possibility of using both active antenna, the answer was yes.

i contacted the mfg last week for some interference problems. he told me that a new model is coming up for all 3/5/6/7
as the model is not launched yet, he cannot send one to me to replace mine now.
i am waiting for it to get mine replaced and inform you guys how it goes.

LMK, I have written several times to the manufacturer (billy) and got a reply that he was looking into it. Good thing I wasnt holding my breath...... Anyway, any chance to get a replacement FOC from Billy?
