Very easy install:
Remove cap at the bottom of the gas pedal
remove the torque screw
slide the pedal assembly up and you will see a single wire hooke to the pedal
unplug from the assembly
plug in the Sprint Booster
push the wire and plug to the side as you slide the assembly back down the hook
reinstall screw and cap
done
I saw some who suggested putting a slit in the capet to hide the wire but worked fine for me without it.

My Ride: 2008 528i 6MT, Sport Pkg, Prem Pkg, sprint booster, ram air, BMC filter.
Just to share my experience with the install... my first reaction when I finished was 'That's it???'
In other words, I was worried for nothing. Do it.

I think I need to do this. Seems like everyone is really happy with it. Where is everybody ordering from and where is the best price? has anyone noticed an effect on gas mileage?
