I was curious if anyone knows if the sprint booster will work with my 2006 530i with SMG. And do you think this mod is worth the $300 or so dollars. I've already removed the charcoal filter and just ordered the RPI scoop and filter kit. I don't think I want to change the exhaust as I don't want the noise. I don't really know what other mods are available for my vehicle. Any good ecu tuning?? Are there any downfalls to getting the sprint booster done? Thanks in advance!

I think everyone here, me included, will tell you GO FOR THE SPRINT BOOSTER... its way worth its money, and even more!!! and if for some VERY remote reason you don't like it, it will get sold here in a second.

So it doesn't matter that I have the SMG transmission? Which one should I get the one for manual or automatic? Or does it even matter?

How fast or Hard is the installation of the Sprint Booster, and does the engine matter ?
