If you pull on both paddles does DSG go into neutral?

The only time the DSG is supposedly in neutral is at a full stop, with the brakes applied.

Have you tried out your theory??

Nah, not really. Don't know, though. Not sure I'm going to try that out.

2 months to go.

Even while at a full stop, the transmission is actually in gear (just look at the gear display on the dash) but neither of the clutches are engaged. Once the TCM recieves a signal that the brake(s)have been released passed a certain point, the clutch is engaged and you can move forward.

I know what it's like to wait for a car you're excited to get. I didn't have to wait for my A3 however since I bought one off the lot.

I spent hours daily on the BMW boards before I took delivery of a brand new M3 back in 2001. Scarey thing was I didn't spend a minute driving it before making the purchase!! It was delivered to my doorstep via truck..talk about excited! :-)

"Neutral--with no gear engaged". Since he was referring to not monkeying with the shift lever, I assumed he meant the latter.

Standard on Birds of Prey models. :)

...And is there a way to put them all back up from the remote? My BMW it was holding the lock button on the remote but to put all the windows back up I have to insert the key and hold it in the lock position.

Thanks
