The Sprint Booster is a little cable that connects under your gas pedal and it eliminates the throttle lag common with drive-by-wire throttles.

Group buy link says "offer ended" when you click on it ... was it meant to go on until the end of October? Want to get one ... only UK source I've found is around ?200 ($400 ish). Anybody know of a good place to buy one in the UK...?

I cant give an experienced comparison to the 550i but if I were to compare my Audi (which is similar in power to the 550i) to the M5, its apples and oranges to me. The M5 is much more raw compared to the V8 power of the Audi even with the quattro. The M is tons faster than my Audi was and alot more fun to drive.
