does a sprint booster affect gas mileage per gallon? gas is so ** expensive now? and does everyone use premium now? I just got my new to me e60 and will for sure baby it? but was just wondering just in case gas goes up anymore
At first, before you adjust to the Sprint Booster, mileage may drop a bit. It's my personal experience that after the initial learning period, my mileage actually increased! (Not enough to concern OPEC, but an increase is an increase!).

I ordered my sprintbooster today from that link i followed for the group buy. I hope I did it right and sent my paypal payment. What type of adjustment do you have to do, i was just hoping for a plug and play situation.

Also straying from the subject for a bit, but bit by the mod bug and just have to ask you a few questions that I hope you don't mind. I want to hyper white my angel eyes, sidemarkers, reverse, -basically all my bulbs interior and exterior did you do this, and what exact bulbs did you go with and where did you get them.

And finally I heard somewhere on the forum about removing the charcoal filter as a simple yet effective first mod's to do. What actually is that mod and whats the pro's and con's. Sorry for the newbie-ness and all the questions but it seems like I read alot of your threads and see your listed as a specialist. thanks puck!

I suggest you check out Modbargins.com. They will have all the lighting upgrades that you need. I ordered the Solaris bulbs for my side, reverse, and headlights. Also they have the interior bulbs that you want. Happy modding...
