Remus Responder
Found this at Bavarian Autosport... Does anybody have experience with this? I drive mostly in Comfort Mode (Chassis-Only) simply because the throttle response in Sport Mode is way too twitchy in stop and go traffic. Maybe this can help find the happy medium between the two modes.
["Improved throttle response with a simple plug-in installation. The REMUS Responder improves throttle response by means of modifying the accelerator pedal output signal. No more throttle delay and reduced lag during automatic shifting makes driving with the REMUS Responder more fun. The Responder attaches between the OEM pedal sensor and the OEM connector, ready to use in seconds due to plug & play technology. Sophisticated adjustable programming profiles can lead to improved fuel consumption and more efficiency. The 4 individual user selectable and adjustable performance settings allow drivers to select according to their own preferences. The REMUS Responder totally eliminates the delay in modern electronic accelerator pedals! Improved throttle response, reduced lag during gear changes. Quicker reaction times, more dynamic driving experience without changing engine parameters. 4 individual user selectable and adjustable performance settings. Vehicle specific programming using OEM quality connectors. Simple plug & play installation and easily removed without leaving any trace.[/B] |

This is just a kit to improve throttle response, wont add any power to your car
If you have a tune like JB4, it adds power and improves the throttle response

I have a Dinan Stage 1 tune, after installing I noticed a slightly improved throttle response. Will adding the Remus Responder improve on it even more? Or would it just be redundant?

Not familiar with Dinan tunes, you would need to ask them direct

Just installed the Remus Responder this morning. Obviously it's way too early for any definitive conclusions about the product, but my initial impressions are very positive. The throttle response of my 428i is much sharper, even in Eco and Comfort. Basically in Comfort, the throttle response feels just as sharp as it would in stock Sport Mode. Gone is the delay when I throttle tip-in, which always bothered me.

I'm also interested in a device like this one or sprint booster because I too get frustrated with the initial 1/4 gas pedal press of dead zone in comfort mode. I agree sport mode is too twitchy in city traffic. I prefer comfort mode.

You and I share the exact sentiments about our cars. You would love the Remus Responder. With it, I'm now able to drive the car in Comfort Mode so that the transmission isn't always hunting for the lowest gear while enjoying a sharp throttle response as if the car's in Sport. Another added benefit: driving in Eco Pro Mode now is actually enjoyable, with the throttle much more responsive!

I already have the Dinan Stage 1 tune, so I already experience much more power than stock. The Remus Responder deals with throttle feel, which these power tunes don't really affect. |

Interesting.... I've always thought the car needs an in between mode like a "street response" mode that's not holding 1,100rpm and not a rediculous 2,500rpm. I have a JB4 and DP and would like a little more throttle responsiveness in comfort mode

I get it, just push the pedal harder...But with a tune you only have a limited gap between the throttle actually responding and the tune kicking in and accelerating you forward. Sometimes I just want a smooth acceleration with no lag but not throw my head back |

Sad to say, the throttle lag is probably the one and only thing I dislike about our cars.

This will fix it. I've been fiddling with it for a few days and have found the perfect daily driving setting for me. Now I can drive in Comfort Mode so the transmission isn't always hunting and hanging onto the lowest possible gears, while enjoying substantially-increased throttle response. It's like now I have the option to put the transmission in Comfort and the throttle in Sport.

That's exactly what I was thinking to be a benefit for my usual driving style. Having more throttle response without having to cruise around at 3k rpm.
More options for varied driving styles. Isnt it kind of expensive though? Seems a simple device. |

These responders just reduce lag between the time you push your foot down to the time the signal is received by the module?
Does it actually make the car quicker at all? Will this help in 0-60 times? Im curious about real world numbers.... 0-60 stock vs 0-60 with the responders. Heres why I figure it "should" help 0-60 times. "Improved throttle response, reduced lag during gear changes. ( quicker gear changes = quicker times!) "Quicker reaction times, more dynamic driving experience without changing engine parameters." (Less lag = quicker times)

Actually, I think $250 is cheap to get our $50,000 BMW to drive the way we want them to drive.
