DMS is my first choice, but does anyone have an opinion on these Sprint Boosters? Someone mentioned to me, but I just don't know anything about them. Do they work/do anything? At ?190 to me, I expect something from it. Does it have any effect on warranty etc? Any input would be appreciated. thx

There are many threads about sprint booster on this forum, but basically it just increases pedal throttle response. PM EuroCarFan, he's the only M5 I know here that's running it.

I have it and love it. It dramatically improves throttle response. It's a very easy 5 minute install so I've actually removed it whenever I take my car in for service. Also, I recently had the RDSport software remap done on my car and still using the Sprint Booster. I definitely recommend it.
