I have just retrofitted the SAT shifter with the SPORTS button on my LCI, and I love the drive once the SPORTS button is activated, coupled with driving in DS.
Do you guys think any of these devices (Sprintbooster, Tunekit, Pivot, Velocity etc) will improve the drive further if installed?

Carbon filter removed.
M5 iDrive knob.
Umnitza license plate LEDs.
MP3

I think an adjustable throttle "booster" is a much better idea than the approach that 1 throttle map will satisfy all drivers. Not sure i wwant to pay more than the SB price for one though.

Hi ricky1329, can you elaborate more on this, I'm a noob in this. Thanks.
It is a device that improves acceleration by continuously measuring and converting the digital signal provided by the ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) potentiometer, and providing the ECM (Electronic Control Module) with a new, faster and more response signal.

Hi pinguhk, I didn't install SB because my wife drives the car too, and you can't just simply switch off the SB for slower drivers.....
