What I do notice tho, and if you guys care to discuss this, if you put the car on Sports mode (DS) do you guys feel like the car shifts abruptly somtimes?
Hope the MB is treating you well. You and VT are brothers.

I bought a automatic SB for my manual transmission 530i and lately my throttle has not been as sensitive as when i first put it on. It feels like it was before I even had it. Is this weird or is it a problem, because I'm wondering if something is faulty about the device or my car adjusted to SB, or is it just because I'm running BD4001A on my manual transmission car. Any feedback or questions to help resolve this issue is greatly appreciated. thnxx

Try disconnecting it and drive around for a bit to see if you see any difference and then plug it back in. You might have just gotten used to it.

I was damn skeptical about this thing and thought it would only provide a liiitle bit of improved throttle response so I pulled out on the GB and I regret doing so....I'm going to purchase now but is the benefit the same on a manual tranny? Also, I'm noticing some are getting the auto SB for their manual tranny's. Which should I get?

...I'm probably getting the AFE intake done next week so this SB + AFE combo should be awesome 
....I hope it cheers me up after I curbed my iForged wheel and on the same day some old man runs a shopping cart into my car! 
Getting my car back next week so the timing may be perfect.

so have one sitting in my car waiting for it to be installed
you guys know what - without this forum, i would not have even known that this existed, without this forum, i would not even be this curious to try it out, and without this forum, i would not be spending fortunes on cars (whether it is wheels, m5 mirrors, sb etc...) - but guys, without this forum, life would not be this great

I ordered it tuesday or monday. I forgot, but I got it this morning before I left for work (delivered at 7am NYC time).
Too bad my car is in the shop for paint and rear m5 bumper at the moment. Will let everyone know once installed, probably next week.
