1. Fuel economy would be the primary reason, but probably to reduce the number of accidents at intersections after the light turns green. A jumpy throttle is not for everybody!
2. You can beat an M5
jk You probably burn fuel faster, however that is just speculation, try it and report back

Dump raw fuel into the exhaust and hold on!

I still don't get how this works. I mean, I gather that it will give you the same effect as slamming the pedal to the metal without actually doing so? My question is, so? What's so bad about putting pedal to the metal and save a few hundred bucks instead? Am I missing something? 
I was the 1st 1 to install this and no 1 would believe me until some guy in US started to buy 1 and sound
got a new carWhat BMW have done to the gas pedal is programmed it to have a few seconds delay for safety.
By cutting off the delay, you will go like a rocket.
I have beaten so many car at traffic lights like 330,530 and other cars like MB. I only have a 525i the old engine.
trust me get 1 and it will be the best Xmas present

Is this something I could ask my dealer to install?

With all the sb chat, i removed mine this week as it has been on for a while and was starting to forget what my e60 was like pre sb. Although a nice car it really does feel quite slow without sb, the throttle response without is so slow and had forgotten how bad the stop to go delay/hesitation can be. As so many say 'why not just press the pedal more to get the same effect as sb' ive have tried and cannot replicate the response the sb gives. Needless to say the sb is now back on and the car is again transformed. Strangely i had the increased emissions warning the 1st time i fitted it which cleared after a few miles but no warnings on refitting the sb this time.

Fuel consumption? Does it increase a lot with a SB? What about pedal to metal in sport mode? Same as SB?
