C43 Features and Attributes
In case someone who's got the car still reads this forum, my car seems to be very noisy. With all the discussions about sound, I am very surprised by this.
Even inside, it sounds like a real sports car ( I don't have an acoustic glass option). I will try to record a sound file.
I do not have any transmission jerks. The steering feels super precise.
I will take a screenshot of my software version to compare with those that have problems.
Hacked into android auto and can watch TV channels, stream movies and videos even in motion.
Overall, so far so good.

In any case, it's much louder than any non M BMW. It has a great sound system though in case someone wants to drown out the sound.
The car drives, behaves and feels a bit different than most bimmers and I assume others, and that might influence reviewers opinions.

I do think the American version is louder than European as all those early videos sounded softer.

Yeah, same here.
On a different note,
OPFs do not reduce performance or increase fuel consumption. Instead, the computer controlling the car’s functions may reduce the amount of power produced to compensate for the filter. This is to ensure that fuel economy is not reduced.
What if AMG has limited power to show better fuel economy numbers? Then even though we don't have OPF here, the power is still being restricted?

There are several steps involved.
You need to go here and download AAAD
https://github.com/shmykelsa/AAAD in the download section.
You install that. open it and install the first 2 apps.
You then connect your phone to Android auto and those 2 apps will be there. Carstream app will be your YouTube, the Formata app is your live TV from all over the world and movies.
But for that you need to understand what IPTV and M3U are. The Carstream is easier. Formata app also has a browser that you can set up to stream Hulu and the likes.
