I have a x6M but would LOVE your trim!

If it was aftermarket could you point me in the right direction? thanks!

it came with brushed aluminum. i found them on ebay from from outside the country. Searched for carbon fiber interior trim. i was a bit skeptical but items came as described, very nice quality and were on OEM mounting plates for perfect fitment. Loved that the bottom of trim was also black instead of aluminum. one of the first mods i made and love it every day.

i believe Gixxerboy may have found the same person after he saw mine and got a set for his with same quality but bottom trim was still aluminum until he wrapped it.

it's well worth it if you can locate a set

Two of my favorite things, Sprint Booster and Adams Sidekick Blaster to give this old blue hair a good blow out. Also works great when drying door handles, mirrors, trim, window molding etc.

I have the same, but I have had it for years for cleaning keyboards and computers out. Found out it's great for the car as well! Super worth it.

Please tell me more about the sprint booster, I've not heard of it until now. Under a rock I suppose. Is that what those LEDs are on the side of your center tunnel area?

i love it. it transforms the car and really wakes it up. it doesn't change horsepower or torque so you won't see any change in numbers, it just changes the feel of power delivery. depending on what setting you set it to ( i usually use red 6) changes the sensitivity of how your pedal responds. it basically takes the computer out of the equation and feels like a more direct drive from your pedal input to motor response. there's no longer a soft/numb pedal or waiting for computer to calculate your intentions. it is immediate.

Gixxer may be able to expand on my thoughts. we took turns driving each other cars one day and even though he had extensively more motor work done, i felt like his car was sluggish or asleep through the gas pedal unless it was wide open throttle. We took the sprint booster out of mine (process of 10 min) and put in his and he ended up going home with it cause he liked the difference in power delivery so much more. He then bought one for me to replace it. He felt his car launched much better even though no power increase, just better reaction.

i'm not sure you will notice a difference from 0 to wide open throttle but it wakes the car up in average every day driving. it's like having M button and gear selector to the left all the time but in manageable driving situations.

i also had one in my 550i and loved it as well. you feel all of the motor, no computer dilution

on a side note, occasionally it will turn off when car has been off for awhile and i can tell instantly as soon as i pull out that the car feels dull before looking down to see that it has shut off. there are settings from off to green(1-9) and red (1-9). green has fuel savings mode but i didn't buy this car to save fuel so i usually run red 6..... red 9 is obnoxious and hardly drivable in M mode.

this connects you to your car more directly. i would highly recommend for anyone. sorry for long response but hope it helps clarify

hey 9, see response to 0-60 for description of sprint booster and what it does.

Yes, that is the control module for display and to change settings. it is a simple plug and play that plugs into the wire on top of your gas pedal in the matter of minutes. you can mount controller anywhere but i mounted it there with provided velcro so it is out of site but i can still see when driving if i need
