I'm still considering sprintbooster, but this will put it out of my mind for a couple of weeks. Heard great things about it though.
Anyway, get the SB!!!! You will smack yourself for not getting it earlier!

Funny...i just found it last night coming home from a buddies house. I didnt realize it when i shifted over and saw the DS. i dont even know how it got there. 
Is there a way to set it or does the ECU do it for you when driving aggressive?

With SB + DS in my 530xi I have to check the rear view mirror once every 30 seconds.
In a 550 you best check every 10 seconds and put a good traffic lawyer on retainer!
