On my 09 there seems to be minimal lag or no lag time at all, do you guys still think it would be beneficial to install a SB?
The acceleration is quicker with a slight push of the accelerator. The same results is achievable when you drive your car hard by punching the accelerator to the floor all the time. With the SB, you don't have to do that all the time. It'll do it for you all the time.
I agree that there are no increase in HP and you notice that the engine can't keep up with what the SB is doing. The engine is still the limiter and it's all relative depending on which car model you have. I'm sure the 535i and the 550i drivers won't feel that limit.
Good luck.

Where are you guys ordering your Sprint Boosters? There seem to be more models at different prices, so I guess some are "fakes". Where can I get a good, reliable SB for my 535d Automatic?
Thanks
Thanks

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!!
