I'm after a little info/help and this looks like best place to ask

Ive got the chance of a SB but my supplyer has got me confussed

He tells me there are 2 types for my car (535d auto) one for auto and one for manual and they both fit

The auto is less agressive than the manual he tells me

So which one is best for my car?

Thanks in advance

Your car is auto, so go for the auto. Alot of ppl that have manual cars go for the auto, but not the other way around.

I do not own a SB yet but from what I have read in this forum, the only difference between the two is the resistor physically. So the compatibility is not an issue here like your vendor says. However, how much difference in performance I can't comment on.

If you have an automatic, I would recommend sticking with the automatic. I have one on my 545 and don't think I would want it any more aggresive for daily use.

I highly recommend the mod. You will be shocked at the difference.
