SprintBooster. Anyone? F10 to G30

Has anyone used their F10 boosters on G30's??

I had my booster for my E70 x5 which used the same wires as the F10. In wondering if they continued using the same connector for G's.

Anyone?

It is the same.
BMW hasn't change the accelerator pedal design yet.

Installed it the 1st day. OH MAN it definitely wakes sh*T up. I was even shocked how good the OEM pedal delay was. Not bad at al. But in comfort mode it helps ALOT. Sport plus is for challenges 😉

Was this the sprint booster v2 or v3? I noticed that v3 says it does not fit the 540i. Looks like v3 just adds a valet and pedal lock mode.

I have the original version. I did install the new joint with Led # settings on a 535 d "14" & it's the same connector as original So you shouldn't have a problem. Return it worst case

I would get a jb4 it's easy to install, costs about the same and actually makes the car faster rather than just increasing throttle response.

I ordered my bms already. I was asking if they continued using the same pedal connects since I had the booster for 2 bmw's already. And trust me, if u don't have a booster dude your missing out.

The electronic throttle SUCKS & this booster makes a word of difference.
Back in the day, lighter flywheels were the new age sprintbooster. Rev quicker

I installed a sprint booster into my F01. I wish I knew about it when I owned an F10. I'd probably still have it.

You should try RaceChip XLR.
I have it in my car for a little over a year already.

Just installed the sprint booster v3 and WOW. What a difference! This totally transforms the car that makes it pull like a freight train especially if you put it in Race mode. Thanks for the heads up on it!!

What car did you install it in?

The website says V3 does not work on 540i but I can't figure why

2018 540i. I was concerned it wouldn't work based on what the website but no problems with the install or with using the different modes.

Great! Gonna get me one. I have a JB+ but bettter throttle response is probably more valuable than the extra HP in this car. I know how much difference an SB makes from when I had one in my E46.

Got my sprintbooster - it really makes the engine feel alive. Comfort mode is now usable for me, and I still haven't re-fitted my JB+ yet. That combined with the SB will make it a different car.

My dude. Lol your not gonna need sport plus mode anymore unless you about to effff with a SRT or something powerful.

I got my SB(red) & JB+ turned up fully and comfort equals my F10 3.5i on sport mode. Sick how useful comfort is now. I even started using eco on the highways just to keep me from being a DiK lol

Thinking about picking this up with the dinan piggyback, has anyone had any issues? It seems like it's a general mod applicable to any vehicle or does it have specific BMW connections?

They make them for lots of different cars.

If you buy the BMW version, it fits the BMW accelerator pedal connection

I have my old sprint booster v2 from my F10 535i and love it! I saw the plug is still the same on my 2020 530i I just got but it didnt make a difference at all. Is there a calibration process if switching cars or maybe a way to update firmware? Seems like it should work if they havent changed anything about the gas pedal.
