Can any forum member tell me their thoughts on the "Sprint Booster" for 299.00?

1) Is it like "snake oil" or is it worth 299.00 and does it really work like it says it does: i.e. quicker gas pedal response, etc

2) Is it easy to install that takes only 10 minutes? (plug and play)

Thanks in advance!!

Did you find one yet? I am still looking for V2. John was out of them last time I checked. Anyone know of any vendor that has them in stock?

Thanks,
Dave

I just sold my v1 last week. The new owners loves it. I still have my M version in my M5 and can't drive without it. The car feels so slow without having it in there and I drive an M. Does that tell you something?

Dave, yes Bavarian autosport have the sprint booster in stock for auto or manual for 299.95. (I don't know if it's a v1 or v2?)

Hope this helps!
