Hope you agree.
Interesting, if idiosyncratic, set of requirements there! However I don't believe any road test of the F3x has bemoaned these failings. Road tests to date have generally praised mechanical noise suppression in the 3 and especially the 4GC, at least on properly maintained roads...

I don't recall any previous commentary about the bright tweeters in the HK (is a road test ever that specific about one aspect of a cost-option extra?), and the auto-stop can be locked out by coding, but in any case is a European Thing which you just have to accept if you buy a car from there.

Turning off the ASD in the six-pot will unfortunately be unlikely as an iDrive option, especially with ever-more draconian EU noise regs stifling the exhaust.

What are lock sensors exactly...?
