this whole thread has spam written on it. the more i read about, the more i think it is a waste of money.
instead, send me $300 and i'll send you a fan, that in 5 minutes, attaches to the back of your muffler, helps suck out the exhaust, given the car a nice boost. additionally, the fan looks cool and ppl are like 'hey, look that the fan on that dumbass' car. i want one too'.
if you buy now, i'll give you a no obligation 1 month free to try (i'll even pay shipping both ways). remember this comes with a one yr warranty (extended warranty available up to 3 yrs!)

3: wait 5 seconds
4: turn key to "off" while still holding pedal
5: release pedal, wait approx 2 minutes
I just did it when I put gas in the car and will probably go through this routine every time I refill. It only takes a few seconds to perform and, by the time you're done filling up the two minutes should have passed.

Are u located in Hong Kong? Cause I am in Hong Kong now for my vacation and I will love to get one here in Hong Kong for my C320. Can you recommend me a shop where I can buy the Sprint Booster. And it will be great if they have it in stock.

I got a hold of the Dealer(Boulekos Dynamics) and they informed me that there's NO dealer/distributor in the US yet. The're working with a couple of companies here in the US and they said that they will have a distributor set in the next couple of month. The only way of getting these is through them and they cost 226 euros + shipping (19% VAT which is includes). I think I'm going to jump and get one through them since it seems like it's the only way.
Hope this helps!!!

For those of you guys that have friends that own some of these....Any Updates? Where in the US did they buy? I'm still waiting for a brave one to guide me to a US source. 
Anyone want's to share?

There are a total of 300 discussion threads on this sprint booster at the Bimmer forums. Like I said, I don't believe it until I tried it and today I love this device...

Thank you SLKFANS, I read them and really appreciate you passing that on!
I contacted Colin Chow from Eurohaus in Singapore who put me onto the Australian distributor in Sydney and I purchased one today!
It has made this vehicle into what I wanted it to be - very responsive from take-off and does not hesitate to kickdown to a lower gear like before where it would stop and think about it and then not kickdown!
The best money I have ever spent on a modification on any of my cars ever!

No photos, no dyno, 0-100 (0-60mph) times nothing. So you spread the myth like it actually means something.

It is idiots like you who spoil things for everyone!
I come to this forum, and the Australian one too, to share my experience of a worthy performance modification (I am from an automotive and mechanical engineer past) only to cop abuse from some arrogant twit who can only accuse me of Bull ****.
It is idiots like you who make this a real sad world!
Some of us don't need justification to purchase a mod. I did my own research (without the things you are requesting) I tried before I purchased and I am very happy of the outcome.
If you refuse to believe me that is fine, but do not try to drag me down to your pittiful low life being!
And what exactly do you gain from your statements? Satisfaction? of what Kind? You advertise your business doing Mods for MB's here in Australia? Who in their right mind would deal with you given the way you conduct yourself here on this and the other forum?

It's my understanding all this part does is increase the throttle response - not add power. So there's no reason for dyno's, 0-60's, 1/4 miles, etc. It's how the car feels when you drive it - so all you're going to get is people's opinion. And there are photo's on the link... I'm guessing that's what it is?
Anyway - I'm not saying it works, and I'm definitely not buying one... but to base your BS call on them not having a dyno... that's just

OZC32AMG wont show me a photo of it installed. It sounds like hype-ware.

I call
edit:
looking at some of this guy's other posts, they seem to have more 'natural' language. Some of the things in this thread seem more forced. Why the difference? I don't know yet.
edit II:
upon further reflection, I'm not sure if I'm prepared to make this accusation just yet. Still, something sounds amiss.

I think it will but like said before....No dealer/distributor of any kind in the US nor times posted. No pictures of it installed either. I'm not doubting that this module might do what they say it does, but I'm actually doubting on some of the posts here saying that they have or have tried it. They can't reference anyone selling it in the US and I really doubt everyone (from BMW forum)are sending money (just like that) out of the Country to buy one.
Then again....Any contacts/dealer/distributor/person selling these in the US?
