I am curious about people's experiences with the Velocity unit.
My experience with the SB in my Steptronic-equipped car is that it does not totally eliminate the throttle delay lag but shortens it and dramatically increases power once it comes on (it has no effect on the car's actual power output from the engine but gives a stronger throttle signal to the engine than OEM throttle at the same level of throttle application.

Let me answer this one. It works for all BMW models, even MINI. Hope this help! =)
Hey Eric, the only thing holding me back is that some members have said the wires are not long enough to install in the ashtray or hide properly. I know I want to take it out (obviously) whenever I go to the dealer, but when it is installed I would want it as hidden as humanly possible. Any plans to make them with either extension cables or longer ones?

Speed_Force_60 is in SoCal, may have to get a meet together when he installs his and make him come.
