For the most part no one has had issues with them. There have been some bad ones, which most vendors are willing to replace rapidly, but 9/10 it come down to User installation Errors when people put them in wrong.

They do one thing , Speed up the reaction time of the gas pedal.... I Don't know how that is "Dodgy"

I had one on my 535i with no issues, and now have on on my 530xi with no issues.

i have no idea. I decided to get the SB V2 ONLY the fact that it looks a lot nicer than the velocity AND there's an off switch since I HATE driving with the SB in traffic. I know I'll have fun on the highway.

well for all you guy out there with the SB.
I think I was the 1st 1 to use it back in 2005 in my last car and 100% OK and working fine.
Just member say it can be dodgy.
well in my opinion the SB if fine it been out for a long time and designed for many other brand cars.
Like I say the that member who say this SB is definitely dodgy. Any thing in our car can be definitely dodgy too.
the hole car is controlled by computer and like PC you can never trust computer.
My 2 cent.
