Sprint Booster

I had an E46 M3 that had a PWR button. Upon activation it would sharpen the throttle response and that was it. It made you feel there is more power.

For those who owned the M3 and have experience with Sprint Booster: How do you compare the PWR button with Sprint Booster?

It will be like having the "Sport" button on all the time. I had one on my E55, and it made the throttle much more responsive. Im going to try one on my C63.

Just fyi, if you have a tune, it most likely modifies the throttle response maps so it feels like "sport" is on anyways. Most every tune out there for a C63 does change throttle response to be more aggressive so getting a sprint booster could likely cause issues. If you are getting a tune (which every 63 owner should, the car becomes a monster) and plan on buying/keeping/using a sprint booster, ask the company you buy your tune from to not modify the throttle response maps so you don't run in to any problems. Good luck let the forum know how you like it if you decide to go for it

Super....great find...sounds like you'd end up spending more time wheel-spinning than anything. people will be crashing into rearends of other cars with the 1/4 accelerator press.
i felt the XX pipes helped throttle response...did you? i noticed the back pressure is much lower, and the cars revs are much more fluid and quick.

Haha. I'll sell mine too. It was used a few times. Made a big difference prior to my tune. Let me know if anyone wants one.

How about after tune results? My issue is with the throttle delay and I have K1.

It's just as good! Throttle response is still as sensitive as before tune.
