I know that in the stage #1, all you are getting is software key, for any local dealership to upload to your car.
What you did works out perfectly if you have friends in the US, or a US postal address, and then get the stage #1 installed in Canada.

Have you thought of the implication for stage #2, with all the hardware included in this kit? Would you then try to smuggle the stage #2 parts back to Cansda, or pay brokerage fees to get it to Canada? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of trying to save money?

If you read my post above carefully, I stated that we cannot take a Canadian car to US BMW DIS system for flash programming also required with stage #2. Cooling add-ons is what I was after, not a lousy 17HP offered by stage #1.
