I do not have one..I'm personally waiting for the price to come down. Even $190 is past my personal threshold. But to it's credit, members rave about it. I have an anemic 525xi, so I'm going nowhere fast anyway.

Its not like my foot can't extend further down to make my car have the same effect. The good thing about not having a SB is in the Winter its much nicer to have a smooth accel in snow.

Plus I don't see value in it at that high of a price.

LMK if you're interested in the SB. I have one (manual-transmission model)...

have you ever driven your car with it installed? if you did im sure you would have a different view on the subject. im sure many members would agree with me.

I hated my sprint booster. Bought my car with it on, kept it on because of all the rage about it on here. Took it off for kicks one day and wow I can't believe I drove my car with it on. I can't explain how much better it feels now. Oh and for the record, I removed my CDV so I'm sure that helped.

It felt like my E46 M3 with the sport mode button on. If I had to drive my car like that every day, especially in traffic, it would drive me nuts.
