Finally installed it this afternoon and went for a drive, both street and highway. My impression? Holy jeezus. Why didn't the car come this way from the factory? I mean this thing takes off. The throttle is crazy and keeps on wanting more. It's a fun change for the car, almost scary in a way. I was up in the 100s no problem -no jerkiness -no hesitation whatsoever. This thing is insane! 
Installation was easy. It's usually a 5-minute job, but I wanted a clean look, so I opened the carpet a bit more, to stuff the sprint booster body and wires. You'd have to know you're looking for something down there to notice anything. Even if you stick your head by the footwell, you can't see the wiring. Took me 15 minutes to get it this way.
Time to order one for the wife's car...

Another great feedback!
So one of the guys on the M5Board tried the SB out and he said that although he liked the improved throttle, he said after 3/4 way, the last 1/4 of the pedal travel felt flat. I've never noticed but I don't think I've ever paid attention. Any of you guys experience this?

I just installed the SB, it took less than 10 minutes. I was trying to find a way to hide the wire but decided to leave it out as is. After I went for a quick test drive, all I can say is "If you don't have one, what are you waiting for?" BTW, this is my 1st mod ever to the E60. This mod is so easy and simple, you see the improvement instantly. Highly recommended.

However, he's now sold out of them. Member, Alpinewhite, is selling his though. It's brand new, never installed and I believe he wants $240. Here's the thread for that:

Good luck and make sure you get your hands on one of these ASAP. For the money, it's one of the best mods you can do for your car, that I've seen thus far.
