My Ride: 2005 545i Dinan S Package
I was skeptical at first about this mod, but now...wow!! Talk about whiplash!
Couldn't tuck it away that much, left it exposed, I'll have to take it out when I bring it in for service anyway.
well worth the money for those on the fence. I got in on the group buy for 245 shipped. Got here in about 6 days.

Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
I'm sure it's been asked already, but I'll ask again. Is this a worthwhile mod for those of us with manual transmissions?

From what I was told, people with manuals who have tried the SB on their cars don't like it because it's way to sensitive for their driving, but I dunno. Maybe you can find someone near you who has one and slap it on... I'm not even sure if the SB uses the same plugs between the steps and manuals....

Can a sprint booster be applied to a 535?
What are the chances of voiding the warranty?
Thanks in advance.

It seems the voltage output of the automatic is less then what is in the manual and doesn't give
you as much boost.
Missed the Postal Guy yesterday, mine should be waiting at home.
I will post back my experience after the install tonight.
