Try Parts Exporter Store on eBay slightly higher price but shipped very quick and where I got mine from within 3 days, I waited almost 4 weeks (w/ many un-answered email) from slkfans.com then he refunded my money at the end w/ no-stock reason.
$300.00 shipped from HK

Attention Fred AKA my530, our resident electronic guru:
Can you fabricate a Bypass switch, inline between the SB and ECM connectors, to turn it on and off(normal)?
A little idiot light LED to tell the status would help also. Thanks.

You mean "J"oe (aka VegasTrashed)? He love the SB you sold to him 
The throttle is VERY responsive! P.S. Don't tell him this... I'm consider getting one as well

I thought about this after I sold my SB to a bastard on the board. Hint: his first name start with a "J" 
I want it back and he does not let it go

just thought i would add, something i keep forgetting to mention. wondering if anyone had the same experience. but ever since i got the sprintbooster, the sound of my exhaust has also changed. the sound became just a tad deeper, but added more backfire once i let off the gas when revving or after 1st gear before shifting. one of my friends even told me that it kind of sounds like my car has a turbo because of that backfire... i wish haha. just thought id mention it.

My Ride: I have a 2007 Black Sapphire BMW 530i with SMG. It has the auburn interior, has PDC, Sports Package, Premium Package, rear automatic sunshades with manual side sunshades, 35% black tint, Upgraded angeleyes from Angelibrights, and Logic 7 Sound System
Model Year: 2007
Ok guys, just read through the 11 pages and have read enough to know that this mod is a well spent investment. A few questions first though. 1) I have a 2007 530i SMG and was wondering which version, the auto or the manual, I should get. Right now, I am leaning towards the manual because it is a SMG. 2) I was wondering how to install this. Can someone write up a DIY PLEASE! I am sure many people would appreciate it. 3) Is the website mentioned by Rizbel the best/most convenient place in the US? Thanks guys. Also, if any 530i owners have this mod, feel free to post you reactions to before and after Sprintbooster. Thanks again.
