Guys, I just ordered the Sprint Booster (Automatic) for my 2007 530i SMG, my concern is that after installation how much of a difference will I feel when driving in auto mode. Right now in the auto mode (without the S there is a real drag when switching between gears 1 & 2, however in the sports-auto mode the lag decreases but is still fairly imminent. My question is how big of a difference will the SB make to my current D mode experience.

I think you should drive an SMG in manual mode. I heard that the D mode sucks and is way to jumpy/rough.

That is correct but I have also heard that the sprint booster makes a resonable difference when driving in D mode. Has anyone witnissed any improvement in the lag while driving in auto or sport-auto mode with the sprint booster.
