All,
My brother has an '05 545 and I was thinking about recommending the Sprint Booster to him. I installed mine this weekend ('08 535i) and it is fantastic! Would he feel the same results as I am with the SprintBooster? I believe he would but wanted to check in with V8 owners (especially 545i owners) who have it installed....
thx!!

let him borrow yours and test it out himself, should take you 5 mins to remove it.
then he can decide it for himself

I had thought of that...just was such a pain in the arse getting down into that position (and tucking the SB out of th eay) I thought I'd check with your guys and save myself some hassle.

I had put together a group buy through an eBay vendor called PartsExporter a few months back but it ended. You can contact them directly by emailing Andy at sales@partsexporter.com. He's currently selling them on eBay for $280 plus $20 shipping but mention this forum and he might cut you a deal.
