I love my Sprint Booster but I have some other mods in the works that I need to pay for so it and the M3 button panel have to go. SOLD

So tempting.

EDIT: Has the Sprint Booster already been soldered into the M3 panel i.e. is it set up to be plug and play?

No, I never got around to doing the sport button mod

My main question is what are the other mods you are looking to get? Wish I could get this, but I have some mods I want to do first.

Right now I'm in the middle of an oil pan gasket which has snowballed into a lot of other upgrades due to the "while I'm in there" philosophy.
Ultimately, I'll be installing some kind of FI. The SB isn't needed for FI, especially if that happens to be a turbo.

Haha that's quite the jump. A gasket to FI?

FI is down the road. Could be 6 months to a year. I'm just doing a lot of prep for that

Gotcha, I interpreted that as you under there doing the work and just thought "might as well do FI while I'm in here." Seemed comical. This much makes more sense.

Nice! I've heard great things about the SBers. Gotta get around to that someday after I save all my pennies...

Hey, I'm new to this forum but am on e46fanatics quite a bit. Is the sprint booster for sale for a manual car? I believe the part # should be SBBM0001S if its for a manual.

Sprint Booster Info:
2 wire Sprint Boosters should be Manual version and 4 wire Auto. This has been debated before and gets confusing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sprint Booster Info:

"CLICK"
Sprint Booster V2 - (SBM10001S) - 6MT -2 wires (http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/SBBM0001S/ES2523983/)
Sprint Booster V2 - (SBBM0002S) - Auto - 4 wires (http://www.ecstuning.com/News/ES1896923/)

The BDD401 is suppose to be for a Manual and the BDD401A is for a Automatic BUT you can use either one apparently. My extensive research on this subject has found that one is just more sensitive than the other. The BDD401A (2 wire) and BBD401 (4 wire) which both work on Autos. The "A" after the model number mean Auto and also the one they recommend for the "M".

Found This Info:
They are cross-suitable. The Auto version simply is less sensitive than the manual version as there is no clutch control element to help you keep it under control.
However, the manufacture recommends fitting an auto SB to a manual car for any driver who finds the manual SB on a manual car a bit too crazy.
I have done the opposite and fitted a manual SB to my auto. I am used to SB's on my BMW's so I have no issue with controlling it. Alot of people have done the same with BMW's and Mercs from what I have seen on other forums.
I have never tried an auto SB, but from what the manufacturers themselves claim the auto version just gives less of an increase in sensitivity than the manual version. I guess this may translate to a slower reaction. What I do know is that the SB is quite a simple device, and so it is very hard to imagine it being "clever" enough to do anything other than alter the response time of the throttle.
It doesn't stop the box from changing at its set point, but as you know, our autos change later in the rev range the harder you are accelerating. So if you keep a light foot you will shift early and if you press hard you will change later. The SB doesn't change this (it can't) but as you are more likely to be under harder acceleration for less pedal travel with the SB, you will notice your shifts do come in later.

This link shows the original version with "NO" mode button. There is no "S" after the model number. "S" = Selectable or Switch version.

1. The compatibility of some parts may vary between different markets.
2. All parts ending with ' A ' (i.e. SBDD451A) are developed for use in Automatic & tiptronic transmission models (DSG…etc)
3. Manual versions (non 'A' versions) can only be installed in manual models.
4. In some early models the throttle connector is located in the engine bay
5. For Mercedes AMG , BMW M Series and highly tuned models we suggest the use of the Auto version
6. Switches are not universal. They will only work with the specific Sprint Booster in the box. Do not use the same switch in different Sprint Booster part numbers.

(FYI Mini Cooper is the same part number as the BMW's)
MINI COOPER 2002- ALL ENGINES SBDD401 / SBDD401A

Yes that's the model number of the one I'm selling.

I'm really close to pulling the trigger on this except I have never soldered anything and don't want to break everything. Do you have the skills to solder everything together so it's plug and play? I'd give you $300.00 if it was plug and play. Let me know.
