I haven't had any issues with mine, nor any errors with my car at all and have had it on for more then a year now.
There is no rev increase at idle, the only thing you may notice is a "wow" sensation at the begining.
I notice even better responce in SD
Here is the test...
Install your SB.
Drive your car for a month.
After a month.
Remove SB.
Then post your results.
I'm betting you slap that baby right back on again after a short trip down your street.
**
Be sure you install it correctly.
Meaning, don't bend the pins.
It's female to male plugs any Caveman can install this in 5 min.
Push the connections in all the way.
Make sure you order the correct one.
There are ones for Auto's and Manuals.

Hope this helps.

So does it change the shift points in D or DS? or do they remain the same?
And what is the deal with shifts. If it shifts faster doesn't that hurt the tranny? I know, I am asking way tooo many questions. So I beg your forgiveness, please don't kill me

Read my lips...
It has noting to do ... at all.. none what so ever...at which your trans shifts gears.... either in D or in DS.
It basicly takes out "lag" (which I hear BMW puts in as a safety issue, but nothing confirmed) and lets you go from hitting the excelorator (peddle on the right in the USA) and to it moving you back in your seat.
It's a great mod.
It's probably in the top 3 for sure if not the first one you should get.
Hope this helps.

I'm looking at buying one too. Check ebay, there's a vendor selling it for about $236, and about $25-30 for shipping, new. I'm so tempted!

I think I need to drive someone else's 535i w/an SB installed for a reference point....Too bad noone around here fits that bill!

Again, I think I'm the only person who feels this way on this board for some reason, but without question or doubt, my shift points change dramatically when I have the SB on. I love the way the car drives when I am in D mode with it installed, but when in Sport mode, I'm not sure I like it. Feels like my car is going to blow up before it shifts...

Do the shifts feel rough in DS? I have a 545i so I don't know how it will compare to a V6
