aFe Power Sprint Booster Power Converter for BMW 1 2 3 4 Series AT and MT — Overview

The aFe Sprint Booster is a throttle response controller that plugs inline between your accelerator pedal position sensor and the DME. It remaps the pedal signal curve so the DME sees a more aggressive input earlier in pedal travel - effectively eliminating the sluggish drive-by-wire lag that BMW built in, especially noticeable on the E90 and F30 platforms. No tune required, no ECU flashing, just a plug-and-play harness that takes about ten minutes to install under the dash. Fits E81, E82, E87, E88, E90, E91, E92, E93, F20, F21, F22, F23, F30, F31, F32, F33, F34, and F36 chassis in both automatic and manual transmission variants.

If you are chasing actual power numbers, this is not your part - it does not add horsepower, it just makes the power you already have feel more accessible. Where it earns its keep is on stock or lightly modded daily drivers where the factory throttle mapping feels annoyingly soft off the line. I would pick this over a full tune when you want a noticeable seat-of-the-pants improvement without touching your ECU warranty situation. Worth noting that on already-tuned cars the gains feel less dramatic since a good tune usually tightens the pedal map anyway.
