Any of you wish that your 6er didn't have the throttle lag? I just got a device module that is truly plug-in-play that eliminates the throttle lag. I've been having a blast with it for the past week. Here is my review that I posted on e60.net.

Get it Alex. It's worth it. The throttle response is amazing. I'm going to do another timed run tomorrow after work.
Here is a great example of the Sprintbooster in action. On my way to work today I exit off the main highway onto another road which crosses over the highway. The exit ramp has a short merge into the road/bridge. I need to slow down into 2nd gear as I approach the merge and check the traffic over my left shoulder. If there's enough space, I bury the throttle to merge. Well, this morning 2nd gear planted me in my seat and the rpms went up real fast. What I've noticed since yesterday is that my rpms climb quick compared to pre-Sprintbooster.
All right, I've had the Sprintbooster on for two days now. Everything isn't rosy. I thought that it would help me achieve a faster timed run. I attempted to use my Launch Control (LC) last night but it didn't work. The LC was just working last week. I'm certain the Sprintbooster is the culprit, but I'm not too bummed about it. Doing timed runs these days are few and far inbetween. The next issue is parking. You have to really be careful or else you can end up hitting another car, curb, or pole. The throttle is crazy sensitive. Overall, I love the Sprintbooster and the immediate delivery of power. twoup.gif
I overlooked one thing. I have SMG and like driving with the Sport button engaged all the time. It certainly contributed to the sensitivity of the throttle. If I disengage the Sport button, the throttle response is lessened but still far better than stock. Now, for those with Step it's like driving in DS mode with the SB. What you really have to pay attention to is REVERSE with the SB. If you don't modulate the throttle backing up, there is a high likelihood of hitting something behind you.
If any of the Socal 6ers are attending the Malibu Meet and Greet on July 14th I will let anyone interested in the Sprint Booster try it out. It's a 5 minute plug-in-play install. My buddy will be trying my Sprint Booster out on his M5 tomorrow. I'll let you all know his impressions of it later this week.
