Thanks for the replies guys! After much pain I managed to get it installed. Ideally the strut brace needs to be removed, but I managed without doing that

First impressions are awesome. I need to find some ferraris to test it with

I'll go for a longer drive this morning, last night I couldn't get much grip as the roads were greasy...

David - if you want to pop over and see the box in action, just let me know. I'm in Livingston.

Forgive my ignorance, but what does this Speed Buster do? Is it just an electronic ignition booster such as an MSD or Crane Hi-6? This will be my first foray into European cars especially a BMW (my 5er arrives this week). My usual experience is with a 93 Mazda RX7 Twin Turbo, so I'm more comfortable with knowledge about Japanese imports and rotary engines.

Thanks Stephen,

I would be interested in seeing it sometime. I get through to Livingston normally once a week or so, send me a pm and we'll arrange a hook up.

I have a deal in place with Superchips to do my car (They did my 530d E39), but at the moment their website is not showing anything for a 535d.

With all that extra power are you thinking about some wider wheels and tyres?
