Well, my car is on its way to Dinan in California to get modded from S2 to S3.
I was planning to visit during the install, but work will keep me from doing that.
Should take a couple of weeks plus two weeks total transport time (to/from). So, I should have her back in a month.
I'll post when I hear anything from Dinan and when I get her back.

Yup. Memory serves, the S3 package installation is only done at Dinan (Morgan Hills, CA).

Actually, Dinan has authorized at least one BMW dealer to install the S3. I think somewhere in Bay Area also.

I can't think of a better way for more of us to pull the trigger on S3's than driving one of theirs when its finished!
