I told myself that I wasn't going to add to the hype. So, I'll just have to share a quick not on my sprint booster experience.

5 minutes to install. The rest was history! WHOA!

This one's not coming off my car. Thanks to everyone that shared this, much appreciated.

I never took it off and, unless they were looking for it, they would never know it was there. Contrary to popular belief, BMW service departments are not looking for excuses to void your warranties. It's more likely that they are looking for reasons to honor it and retain your business. The Sprint booster is a really simple device and basically does what your foot could do if you were so inclined. It's like sleight of hand. If your SA ever mentioned it and your warranty being void in the same paragraph, I would start looking for a new dealership to patronize.

I think he can leave it on there, I've never removed mine, and my SA says that my 545i is faster than any other that they have driven, and even asked if I had taken it to Dinan!! So in closing, so long as it is well installed, (hidden from plain sight), you should be just fine, so just enjoy the ride and especially the perplexed looks from your SA!!
