Pedal Box or Sprint booster

Anyone added a Pedalbox or Sprint Booster to their M3?

I had the PedalBox in my previous 535i and was extremely happy with the result. But was wondering if people are running it in their M3 and are happy with the upgraded throttle response with no issues...

If no issues, then i might get another one for sure..

Have you tried programming the M button with the throttle at the most aggressive setting?

IMO, it's a total poser feature. Anyone who drives on the track or autocross wouldn't use it because it makes the throttle too sensitive and you can't be smooth with the car. It's not like it give you more power or anything, though it may feel like more power.... it's not.

I think someone was able to add the M button on a car that didn't have it before. Might want to search for it. I believe Mike Benvo was involved with the project.

It can be retrofitted, yes.
