My Ride: 2007 525I Titangrau II
I got my Velocity installed last night. I am not going to go into details of the install as it has been covered in countless posts for the Sprint Booster and the install for this device is identical. If you have any install questions please PM me.
I LOVE the fact that I can adjust and turn this device off. It is TONS of fun but in stop and go traffic it is very nice to be able to turn it off
. I never had an SB, I was about to buy one when I saw this device. IMHO it is worth the additional cost just to be able to turn it off, without even taking into account the fact that is is adjustable. When you factor in that this device is adjustable it is well worth the money.
Level 1: There is a noticeable difference from stock even at this level. It is not a huge difference but you will notice a boost.
Level 2: There is a nice boost here not huge but not exactly "tame" either. I feel this is a nice setting for every day driving.
Level 3: There is an aggressive boost at this level it is very fun to drive but not "crazy"
Level 4: This level is a freakin blast! I wouldn't drive around with this one on the street but on the highway it put a HUGE smile on my face!
Please view my video so you can get a better practical idea of the difference between the levels.
Bottom line: I can't imagine a mod anywhere near this price that can bring so much sheer driving joy! Now stop reading this and go buy one!!! Thank to eric@pyspeed for the Velocity!

My Ride: 2006 Titanium Silver 550i, with all the bells and whistles!!
Thanks for Sharing. I have not been able to watch the video yet, but your review is very helpful to me. I was interested in the sprintbooster but was afraid it would cause my wife to crash 
....being able to turn it off is fabulous, having four different levels of boost is icing on the cake! Do you mind my asking where you picked it up? pyspeed??
