I have been leaving all my crap in my car when they service it. Oh well. Unless they say something, screw it. Also, it's a lease and going back in 9 months, so I don't really care.

You probably took the time to hide the excess cable properly -- I didn't! It was easier for me to remove it than hide the cable properly

I've had my Smile Booster 
(from the E60.NET Group Buy) since the end of April 2008 and loved it from day one, like so many others here in the forum. As with all mods, you get used to them after a while and just take the performance for granted.
My car is in for a Service at BMW today, so I took the Sprint Booster (S
off to be on the safe side... and I WAS SHOCKED!! I really cannot believe how much slower the car reacts without the SB. I even did a throttle reset to sharpen up the response, which helped a little, but its still a long long way away from the response times I'm used to with the SB.
The biggest delay is when you are cruising and then squirt the throttle for a quick boost in speed; with the SB the car always reacts immediately, however without the SB there was about a second (?) delay before the car started reacting. This is what really shocked me, I couldn't get over that delay and how much I had to push the pedal to get a reaction and in some cases it was too late. (E.g. you want to quickly pull out at a juntion, change lane, accelerate so someone can move into your lane behind you, etc.)
I bought the SB for improved performance and driving pleasure. I'm now thinking its also a good safety aid as it allows greater and immediate control of the car's speed, especially at low / idling speeds. Needless to say, I really do recommend the SB add-on to everyone here!
