    Congratulations! Enjoy your car.

    I look forward to a hands-on review when you have 2,000 miles in your car. Things like driving experience, engine performance, oil consumption, etc.

    Hey cdixon, did you manage to get a estimate on how much it would cost to have the PSE retro-fitted? Also, I presume this option will not have a on/off switch....

    Made a deal with my OPC, they will fit it for the same price as the factory.

    The switch will work as it will be linked to my sport button !

    I guess you can disconnect the plug in the engine bay so that it is always loud, just like you could in the MK 1 cars.....
