My Ride: 2008 E60 520d - 1995cc-177bhp, Business audio, Adaptive Xenons, ACS Roof & Trunk Spoilers, M6 Kidney Grill, ///M Badging, Carbon Fibre Door Lock Pins, ///M Wheel hub caps,
Hi all!
Thanking this lovely forum and its memebers for the immense help provided to me, have solved quiet a few issues and made me much more happier with my 2008 e60-520d!
Currently a group-buy is going on, so i would like to make the best of it, but would like to clarify my doubt:
How good does the Sprint Booster perform in a Diesel e60? my car is the 520d - 177bhp.
All you guys with a Diesel e60 and Sprint Booster attached, please let me know your views on it... Has it really made drastic difference in acceleration?
Thanks a lot!

It works perfectly with a diesel - i would say (because of the higher torque), you will feel teh difference more on a diesel (compared to a petrol engine)...

There are a couple of E60 forums, but only one stands out above the rest, forums.E60.net....

Doesn't the SB lower your fuel efficency? As all it does is keeps downshifting the car more often i guess?
