UPDATE!!!!!!!!!
I emailed Boulekos Dynamic and they told me I have to wait ten minutes after shutting off the engine before installing it or it will give me an error message. So I waited 10 min installed it and YAAAAAAAY it did not give me an error message.
I drove it around a little bit and here is my impression:
HOLY BALLS!!!!
I press it down a little and if shifts down SUPER FAST!! This thing is all I ever dreamed! I thought it was going to be all touchy feely and difficult to control but you can definitely control it. It is amazingly PERFECT!

I am looking at the booster too. I have an 05 545i. Don’t really want it for racing type performance (but nice to have when you want it). Im really looking to get rid of the lag in acceleration from stop or from coasting at low speeds. The car is impossible to drive smoothly in stop and go. How has your experience been with the booster in these driving situations. Im a little afraid of it just jumping forward the second I touch the gas. Is it that exaggerated?
