does this fit on an '08 550i? I've searched and see various sources, but who is the best to get it from, and the lowest cost? how does this compare to the ECU remap?
I would also like to know how it affects MPG?
thanks all

I'm confused about the part where you disconnected it. From what I read the first time, it seems like you took off the SB because of the error and you wanted to notice the difference so you drove your car without the SB for comparison. Then you reconnected the SB afterwards back? Was the error still there? The second time I read what you wrote, I get that you just disconnected the SB and reconnect it immediately back and didn't get the error no more. I guess I am confused on what you really meant because you said, "engine isnt revving before and no errors." Did you mean you didn't get the error the 2nd time you plug it in or did you mean that when you took off the SB and just went back to the default BMW wiring, everything went back to normal as usual?

Nope it wont. The way the Sprint booster works is when you push the pedal a tiny bit, it's telling the computer you're pushing it a lot more. It's just changing the sensitivity of the throttle but boy is it AWESOME!

just curious, if that's what SB does, how about change the way we normally step on gas pedal and save $245 on SB? or is it not the same?

Everyone should just buy it and not ask questions. If the 500 "WOW" threads on this forum don't sell you on it first hand, then I don't know what will. Bottom line is....IT'S A MUST...pure and simple! End of story!
