My Ride: 2010 BMW 530i E61, alpine white, cream-beige interior, sports-auto-transmission and a lot more-
I am looking forward to my all new E61 530i that will arrive this week, it has the sport-auto tranny with shift paddles - GORGEOUS!!
Does anyone use a Sprint Booster for this transmission? It has a "Sport Button" just behind the shifter, which makes the car rev higher and I think it makes also the gas pedal a little more sensitive.
What do you guys think, should I go for it? Any experience to this?
BTW: Can I install the left side exhaust from M5 on my 530i? Do I lose or gain Power?
greetings,
Ivano

Worked A-ok on my 535I sport SAT... no problems....
The SAT Sport button does not make the car rev higher...
1: it Locks out 6th gear
2: unlocks starts in 1st gear ( normally car starts in 2nd)
3: Quickens the/ lessens the delay of the the Throttle bodies /injectors
4: Adjusts the stearing ratio
5: possibly ( not confirmed ) adjusts the ARS for more spirited driving (if equipped)
6: holds the gears longer before up shifts ( rev range is not increased, but it will stay in High rpms longer before Upshifting)
