Sprint Booster

[Haissam]

but how's the 335 throttle response with sport button on?

[AlSuwaidi]

I believe it's better than the 330
I can go with the M3 E92 from 0-150~160 (without launch control)
but when the gear is on "D" not sport... I feel that it's a little bit slow
that's y I'm asking :P

I have installed the sprint booster in my car about 4-5 months back and I really feel the difference......

It is an interresting review however I have installed it and removed it many times by myself in order to feel the difference and I didn't face any problems while I am doing this.
They are exashurating a litle bit....

"exashurating"???

Couldn't find this word in any dictionary -- did you mean "exaggerating"?

I spoke with a couple of friends who had this installed, as well as installers on my last trip back to Singapore. Easy to install, easy to remove, and unlikely to cause any damage to the engine, although the price tag of USD300 was too high for a simple device like this where results could be replicated by a more aggressive right foot. That was with a group of VW/Audi/Skoda owners I meet up with regularly when I am back home.

I am not sure how 'great' this product works with BMWs, but if you have spare cash lying around, it might be worth a try if you feel that the throttle lag is unbearable. On the other hand, the cost of this device is 1 tyre :)

You're right there... if your car has a hestitation on acceleration that cannot be resolved, maybe the sprint booster is a solution. Is there any reason why BMWs, VWs and some Audis exhibit this hesitation? For the preservation of the gearbox/ torque converter?

Well, i have bought the sprint booster for my E39 530i, and i have to beg to differ from what's posted here. I would say its a good thing to have, driving has become, well, alot more fun than it used to be, throttle response is much faster now. However, i do agree that the sprint booster is a bit overpriced for what it does. Yet, to me, i do not really regret buying it, it's kind of worth the money for my car. Maybe its because i'm driving a 530i which isn't a record breaker. On the other hand, i do believe that M-owners do not really need one. Thanks :D

This whole sprint booster thing has been going on for a while . . .but just a point which i realised . .

1 - you have a car which has a 'hesitation' when you press down the pedal.
2 - you install the sprint booster - and all what it does is . . . it removes the lag (right)
3 - you start loving the way your car drives . . .

what if your car already came with a sprint booster . ? and the car had no lag ?

would you love it the same way ? or would there still be that desire to get something quicker ? perhaps something to boost your hp by a few horses ?

Like someone mentioned in this thread . . all you have to do is flex your foot a little further to get what sprint booster squeezes out of your ride . .

In fact, it's an annoyance in an M3 that's driven daily!!! The sport button is turned on at the track ONLY!!!

Sprint Booster is great i have also purchased it from Power Curve and they did a good job

The difference you can fee after a few kms like 50 or so ...

Yes it does work and reduces the lag..

Good and easy mod ...

This does not increase your hp just better throttle response. No more delays when you hit the accelerator from a complete stop.
