No problem. I've debadged just about every BMW that I've ever owned. I've already rebadged my M5 4 times. I had a Carbon Fiber M5 Badge at first, then had a black and white chrome badge and then went to a dark, shadowchrome badge with monochrome (black, white and grey bars). I should open a business just for debadging and rebadging. Hahahahaha!

do you think the sprintbooster will bake a difference on the 4.8i?

It does on my M5, so yes, it will. It's all about throttle response/lag. That is what the SB improves. Even with a lead foot, the SB still reacts faster. I'm a huge fan. Had it on my past 2, 5 series and love it.

I've read and heard plenty of the pros...have you experienced or are you aware of any cons?

no issues. you just need to get used to it. i might also point out that even with an ECU remap, the SB still makes a big difference. no cons for me. i can't live without it. i took it out once in the m5 and the car felt so slow off the line. i'm not even kidding. it went back immediately. i even let a few friends drive with and without it and they were shocked. floored actually...that such a little item could make such a big difference on this car.

The fault was in you owning an E class. (Sorry, couldn't resist ).
