Would be cool if you tested one on your 328i. I'd be curious to do he same on mine.

I was meaning to do that on my 335 and 328

Thanks, I sort of hate the mushiness of the pedal...even on sport

With the Responder, I leave my driving mode in Comfort so the transmission behaves more normally, yet I can have a much more sharpened throttle response, as if I had it in Sport.

Is the most aggressive top at red & bottom all green?

Correct. The top button switches you from Sport, to Sport+, and lastly Eco Pro. The bottom two buttons (+ & -) trims each setting you're in to more aggressive or less aggressive. I found my sweet spot in Sport+ with a -3 setting (3 red lights).

How long was the cable and where did you install the switch module?

I ran the cord under the center console and the controller between my seat and the console.

OK....my daughter made it home with my responder. Contimplating on whether or not to install now or wait till after scheduled first maintenance on monday? Does anyone have a quick link to insturctions on install to the 4 series. Someone mentioned having to remove gas pedal?

Package didn't come with instruction but I was able to download instruction regarding plug and play. Able to remove bottom portion of gas pedal but does the top portion pop out or is it bolted down as well?

OK....finally got it done. It was NOT a 5 minute job. Well it could have been if I just wanted to leave the wires kinda hanging. Took the time to route under the carpet and find some place to mount the module (see pic).

Initial impression is WOW! Response is amazing. Gotta play and figure out different settings to see whats best. This, coupled with the DinanSport is more than I need for now! Thanks mike@x-ph.com!!

Glad you're enjoying it! This is something that BMW should've produced on its own.

Awesome. Glad to see someone provide some real world feedback on this as I'm semi-interested in it. The pedal response in Comfort mode is pretty meh and I'd prefer not to drive on my daily commute in Sport mode. Seems like this may be the solution.

Go for it, trust me, you wouldn't be disappointed. I had the same feelings as you, about not wanting to drive in Sport Mode and having to live with the transmission hunting for the lowest possible gear all the time. Now with the Remus Responder giving me the sharp throttle response I wanted, I set the Sport Mode in the chassis-only setting so I would have the beefier steering without the transmission issues.

Ok, I have had a chance to play and test out the products in the past several days and wanted to pass along my feedback and observations.
There’s only one thing that I really don’t like about the responder…..it stays on constantly! I wished it would turn on and off, coinciding with the vehicles ignition system. Additionally, I wish it had memory in place to remember your last setting so you can set it and forget it.
Now that the bad stuff is out of the way, let's talk about its overall performance and capabilities. I took my car in for its 1st maintenance service so I disconnected my Dinantronics Sports Module. On the way to the dealership I drove it in its stock state. I found myself having to practically push the accelerator all the way to the floor to get to my desired speed to merge into the freeway. On the way back I turned on the responder and found that the throttle response was much more immediate compared to stock. I did not have the need to have to floor the accelerator to the floor to get to my desired speed. Based on my observation, I would highly recommend this product for any enthusiast so that you can enjoy the true accelerator performance in a stock BMW!
As I have stated previously, I am using this Remus Responder in conjunction with a Dinantronics Sport Module. I tried out the different setting to find the optimum setting for my style of driving. Here as some of the setting that might be useful for others to use as a base (IMO)
Sport+ and Position 3 mode (Top Middle Red Light and 3 Bottom Green Light): This was the most aggressive setting that I tested on my freeway on ramp. All I can say is AMAZING and almost scary! I found myself accelerating from 80 to 120+ in what seemed like a quarter mile. I literary had to pull my foot off the accelerator because I did not even have it push half way compared to nearly having it floored in stock configuration. Needless to say, this is not the setting I would be using, although it brings a smile to my face knowing what it can do.
I also used the previously noted setting by gpchamp of Sport+ and -3(three bottom red lights). I think that this setting is perfect for daily driving. My personal preference is Sport+ and -2 (two bottom red lights). I hope this helps a bit. Get yourself and your car a small Christmas present and get a responder!

mike@x-ph.com, you really owe me a broker's commission.

[MidLifeX]

Just a little update....my earlier concern/con regarding the module staying on has been proven to be incorrect. When the car is off the module turns off as well (not sure time constraints).....but it does turn off and back on in the setting that you leave it on when you open up the door. Hope this helps a bit. Happy New Year!

Ever get a chance to test it out? Curious to hear your opinion, especially with the jb4.

I use the steptronic system most of the time because I don't like the stock feel of the pedal in auto...

Never had the chance but since this post we sold a ton of Responders ... Everyone was very happy with it. Couple reviews were posted on the forum as well
