I have it and love it BUT driving on the freeway is a b#*@!. I can't seem to get the car to drive smoothly. Any of you guys have the same problem? 
fast stepping will be tranlated by the booster as an immediate kickdown..

Yup, that's what I thought... I got black wire wrap from PartExporter and the sticker on the wire wrap also has "A" at the end.

I'm interested, cheapiest place I found online was $245 shipped . I'd like to pay cash and buy it from a socal shop anyone in mind? I'll hit up Eurorev if anyone else interested in a possible group rate.
Any downside to the Sprintbooster that you have come across? Perhaps we'll meet at a SoCal BMW event!

Jordan - I would be...just learning about the "Sprintbooster" and it sounds as if it gets rid of the programmed throttle lag w/o needing a new tune and (expensive) tuner to install the new tune. Only thing that might make me reconsider, is if there is a good tune out for the '08 535 tt then I'd probably just get the tune and skip the Sprintbooster. I have had tunes on three other late model cars all with good results and in all three cases, throttle lag was eleminated as part of the tune.

Throttle response WAS greatly improved.
BUT today I finally got around to putting the sprint booster on-NO comparison to the tune. The ultimate is the tune adn the sprint booster together. Believe me the response of the pedal is instantaneous compared to simply improved with the tune. Believe me its worth it

Good to hear John. Can you also post that on the other thread that was started by Calton? I think I will refer people to that thread to read for reviews.
