I have it and love it. However, it doesn't do anything to actually make the car faster. I like only having to make small pedal movements. Make sure you get the v.2 that allows more adjust-ability. I prefer the "green" setting, "red" is too abrupt imo.

If you floor it you will get exact same power with or without the booster.

All it does is gets rid of the factory delay and the amount of gas to the engine. The BMW drive by wire system is geared so that it doesn't pull you to the edge of the seat every time you hit the gas pedal, more for executive style driving. This device tricks the drive by wire system and gets rid of the delays.

Yep I had it on my 530i before, and its exactly what he says. You can find the 1st version pretty cheap around here. Good luck!
