I thought this is a standard must have on every BMW ??

Bro, don't think too much. Go get it quick quick. After installing, step real hard on the accelerator pedal, the feeling you get will answer your question above

Anyone tried Power Pedal by Tunekit (product name sounds funny though..initially thought it was more like accessories for BMX or double-pedal for the drums set)...anyway, it looks like another competing product with Sprint Booster. Website is: tunekit.com

Wonder if there's anyone who has installed this Power Pedal and what's their feedback.

Thanks.

Thanks to all who have responded...
...well, I have actually researched this item and there are varying opinions about this....obviously...!!...mostly positive, but really, it surprises me that if such an item is good, why is it not done by the manufacturer (BMW)....so there must be a technical reason
..I am just playing the "logical" detective here...but I'm first to admit that logic may not hold here viz...BMW may not know about it or there is a patent on this or technically it has a long term "bad" effect on the car's ECU and electronics system....does anyone know of an independent technical study done on a BMW fitted with this gadget?...and is there a long term detrimental effect?? Comments?

i don't think it will affect the car in anyway. Because this device simply just trick the car that you are stepping on the accelerator harder all the time.

Why is not not fitted by BMW? Well, BMW makes car that fit everyone's taste. This mod will make the accelerator very sensative and not everyone will like it. Just like many other mods every bro do here.

Re: Sprint Booster for BMW cars

Thanks XueXun for the insight....so, I can just step "harder" on the pedal for the same effect..!!!!!
....hmmm...then its a mod that is expensive without actually improving anything to the car..!!
In fact, if the net effect is to "trick" the car into thinking that you are stepping "harder" all the time...well..we all know what we are paying for at the pump!!!...

Re: Sprint Booster for BMW cars

It amplies the throttle signal, that's all. No bhp/torque increment. Visualise wearing a brick beneath your shoes when you drive....... Of course butt feel is better, since for a certain throttle force, the ECU thinks you are stepping harder......

It's like looking at your own manhood through a magnifying glass - nothing changes, but you will feel better of the size increment......

if i do that with a magnifying glass...i will die of heart attack. my t-rex will suddenly look like godzilla.

It is a very basic mathematics. More power = more air + more fuel + more spark.
