My Ride: A Car
when a member installed it in my car for a lil test drive, i hated it. it didnt feel comfy at all. It feels like I'm flooring it. Just save ur $ on a remap unless u like it to tap on ur throttle and it goes nuts kind of feeling. Honestly, it feels great once in a while but not all the time.

Regardless of the size and power of the engine in the E60, BMW appears to have designed them all with a throttle lag delay. In the Step 550, the SB does not eliminate the delay but it does seem to shorten it a little. Also, it takes less application of the gas to get full power (you don't have to press as hard). There is no doubt that with SB, the throttle is touchier.
An ECU remap is a different beast than a SB. SB offers no gain in power -- just a more responsive gas pedal. An ECU remap gains power.
