I am pretty sure that the Sptint Booster does way more than Dinan stage 1. It deletes more throttle lag than the dinan tune and it costs less. The dinan stage 1 only adds like 6hp and you can achieve the same by simply dropping in a K&N Filter. So my advice is to get the SB and a K&N filter. The only difference would be that the dinan removes the limiter.
I have the k&n filter already. The only thing I was thinking is that the sprintbooster doesn't give you any power gains, so is it worth the 300 CDN dollars?

Thx everyone for their replys...even though I still don't know if it's worth it hahahaha. But I do want to also add to the 2-3k loss on trade in. Don't forget the money you paid to get the dinan parts and installed too! So it's like your missing 2-3k plus whatever money you put into it doing dinan upgrades.

So after all this, do you guys think sprintbooster would be a better decision?

Hey miguex who are you a potential guinea pig for?!?!?

The Sprint Booster is definitely worth it. But since you have a 545i manual, the effects might be felt a little less.
Sprint Booster just deletes the lag that is caused from Drive By Wire systems. The the auto transmission, it also causes the tranny to downshift faster.
