With BMW Sprintbooster is a must. You'll love your car all over again and you'll need to find a surgeon to fix your grinned face 
Add it with SMG is the best! I wish I had SMG 
(Please don't tell me to trade my 550i slug box with your 545i SMG

Just an update
I have been noticing a slight increase in MPG after installing the sprintbooster, don't know why.
I used to get consistently between 21-22 MPG, now it's 22-23, and I drive pretty much the same.
Just thought I will share...

It seems that this sprintbooster make the same than the sport button on the M cars. It makes the travel of the throttle pedal shorter. With 50% of pedal travel, you will have now 100% of throttle with the sprintbooster. It will be harder to control the throttle on low speeds due to the higher sensitivity of the throttle pedal. I never use it on my M3. :thumbsdown:

...but tempting... With a 525xi I am sure it will benefit. I notice our mods are very similar, hehee I will debadge mine soon, although that doesn't cost any money =P But for the cost of like a tint job, your car will really feel different. There are a few ocassions when I rev up a little fast during gear change in 1st gear, but no worry on being too sensitive (esp on a 525i), I think it feels just right now =)
