One of the most noticeable difference you can feel of all the mods out there. GET IT!
Maybe next month after light mods for me...............................if;
y'all think it would be good on LCI 520D with new joystick 'box...........................still unhappy with "delay" pulling out from some intersections - particularily those with a little incline and busy oncoming traffic from both directions. Also flat at some points in rev range.
Don't think there is a local ECU remap for these yet so maybe sprint booster is the way

As i posted earlier, I am also waiting for reviews of ppl who have it on Diesel E60's. In the thread i started some time back, i got only Petrol owners commenting on it, and praising the Sprint booster. But can someone using it on a diesel, please give their replies...? I too have the 520d - 177 bhp.

Have just installed an sb on my 530d, its tricky to describe how good it is, youve got to experience it, but would be very surprised if you were dissapointed !! doubters say its only the same as pressing the pedal more, but they just can't have tried it.

Guys, I just ordered the Sprint Booster (Automatic) for my 2007 530i SMG, my concern is that after installation how much of a difference will I feel when driving in auto mode. Right now in the auto mode (without the S
there is a real drag when switching between gears 1 & 2, however in the sports-auto mode the lag decreases but is still fairly imminent. My question is how big of a difference will the SB make to my current D mode experience (specially when I drive within the city). Any input would be appreciated...

Just picked up a sprint booster from a member, thanks by the way (5er Sport)...
I know it doesn't add Horsepower, but man does the car feel different. Off the line response is night and day and low speed response is way more perkier!! Didn't go on the freeway yet so we'll see how it is tomorrow. This a a must for any E60
