@I.T. Guy I appreciate your style! At the end of the day, these are just cars, and things happen, and they will get resolved.
Regarding the window trim, MB has had that identical design on various models with the trim sliding down from the top with a squeeze fit. Sometimes they lift up! I have night shadow on my '21 wagon and thus far has not lifted, but I have had that issue on previous models. A little bit of Silicone and push it back down and it will stay there.

I may have found a solution for the crappy stereo. At home I use Focal for my 2 channel room, have Focal for open back headphone listening, closed back for airplanes, etc. and WOW! Would you look at this!!! Someone in the W212 section alluded to Focal Drop in speakers so I googled them:

I am going to look into it further. Here is the 213 estate link which only goes to 2021. Hopefully they have a kit for 2023's:

I had the Uptoia's in the past...what an amazing headphone.
The problem might be programming unless your ok with the system still saying it's a Burmester system.

And it might need an amp and DSP to make it work well. Easy speaker swap or a rabbit hole? Still reading and looking for people that have done it.

PD? If this is the transmission issue we have a call today. They called yesterday to update me saying they were putting together a plan of action. MB app warned me the doors were unlocked a few times yesterday so they are doing something. I've used the word "Dangerous" and "Root cause" and if they want to give it back will ask why they are not opening a technical case with Germany. Hopefully that is what the plan of action will be and I won't have to say anything. If that is the case I will recommend we remove the Exhaust Flap Controllers and Lowering Module completely before Germany gets involved. I jumped the gun on installing those last week being too confident the re-adaptation was going to fix things. At least I have the video, pre-install, of the transmission failure, and the invoice and lowering work post 1st dealer adaptation where they "fixed it". Hopefully I haven't screwed myself. We will see.

Pollute! Pollute! I just can't get a good sound. Thinking of suction cup microphone on the back or something. I have no idea how the car show guys do it. All I get is wind and air noise lol. If you have a good vid post away!!!

Reasoning for PTG over the rest:
Fed from cold high pressure zone
Sealed isolated airflow, does not draw in hot engine bay air
Pressure sensors have a place and don't register out of parameter readings, no ghost codes and related issues
No bends or turns in the PTG intake compared to others (every bend or turn is a reduction in pressure and flow)
Common plenum will help with keeping the turbos balanced
Panel Filter in a sealed box makes sense. A cone filter stuffed in a sealed box does not make sense. Taking it further - a cone filter not stuffed in a box = heat soak. I'd never rip the top of the stock intake open exposing the panel filter to the engine bay, so why do it with a cone?

it looks very similiar to the OEM which is a good thing! Pulling fresh air that has not passed through the radiator and becomes an inferno of hot air is a great thing!
What filters does that use? they look like BMC filters? What mounts on those two plates that are towards the outside of the PTG intakes?
