I just called a dealership in the USA. For those of you who were wondering if US dealerships can do the installation on Canadian cars, well they cannot. The service advisor I spoke to said that due to differences with DME software in Canada, the US PPK V1 or V2 programming task would abort or generate errors.

Also, BMW North America prevents them from selling US sourced PPK kits to Canadians.

The SA recommned I shop locally, which I did. Best quote I got is 6 hours of labor for the PPKV2 (my car has been flashed with the latest DME one week ago). The parts for my VIN came out out $2144CAD. Total with taxes is $3362.

I asked if the cooling parts could be installed separately (my only interest as Im getting a Cobb AP3 soon), and this is not possible.
