BMW mechanic that lives near hear heard about the problem and came over and helped me do it again, 3 hours of work, and now it runs, but I can't see a bit of difference, throttle reset makes a lot more difference than this thing. Headed for colorado, with it in, probably take it out and send it back when I get home, from the rally. I know "everyone" says how great it is, guess if you are a sucker and spend that much money, you really want it to work, but I spent the money, and believe me, I don't think it works, and I was a sucker.
I know of no one who has been this dissappointed int the SB application. Perhaps there is a problem with your particualr model.

Who was the vendor? And,No offense meant but, are yo sure you have installed it correctly?

Virtually everyone who has done this is very pleased with the result. The results are dramatic. In my case I used a unit set for autostick on my manual 6 sp. It took me weeks to get used to the difference. Dramatic improvement in throttle response.
