Would agree, if it's not cold and a significant flow of air I would get down to the dealership.

Dealers it is as a fan is also going mad in engine bay lol
I hope this is not a sign of things to come, I had 3 years of trouble free motoring with my S3. I really hope I am not going to have problem after problem with the A35.
Know felt the same when moved from my Audi Quattro to the MK7 GTI as the forums started to fill with the early niggles which as a forum is quite focused magnifies that feeling of "have i done the right thing?!"
But it settled down, it soon become obvious that these were just niggles and history supports the Golf and the Audi were on the main very reliable,
So think you have to give yourself a few months, as by nature you are more sensitive to the car and at that point you become at one with the drive you might only notice the issues that are really issues and not just your initial and natural apprehension and sensitivity
Er, read the manual...
I never thought of that, oh actually I did and what the instructions state don't actually cancel it.
Thought someone may be able to help me out, rather than take the time to post a completely unhelpful response.

Yeah does not state how to cancel and as the guy above says helpful comments help!
I think you're forgetting that only a few people have that car and even fewer are on the forum, therefore your manual
is the first port of call. And nowhere did you state that you'd checked it. Have you tried searching the online version?

I have indeed. I'm hearing via some of the social media groups some other folks are reporting the same problem.
What are people's thoughts on the Burmester system so far?
I have been playing with various settings on the bass, mid and treble levels and I can't honestly hear any difference.
I am beginning to wonder if I have an issue with mine or if its just not that great of a setup.

That's not new Chris, a lot of people dont and cant. I wouldnt spec it for that reason.
If it was me, Id leave those adjustments, get some great source material like lossless, change the sound stages and nothing else and use boost. Thats all I'd do If I had it
It was part of the premium plus pack which had other options I wanted, so really couldn't unspec it and save any money.
I guess I was just expecting more, its no where near the quality of the B&O I had in my S3.

I have read that the Burmester spec is watered down compared to the full fat spec on other AMG's.
I'm just hoping that it's no worse than Dynaudio on the R which in itself is nowhere near B&O standards from the S3.

From someone who really likes his music, its very disappointing. The B&O in the S3 was 100 times better, if it was available as a completely stand alone option I certainly wouldn't be paying for it.
I had the dynaudio on my GTI, I really liked it
Bit of an audiophile, have a high end Denon system coupled with Mission speakers which is now hardly used due to having Sonos 5, 3 and 1 set up around the house.
So originally back in the day always ticked the audio upgrade option which is something that would never do now and the reason is that the standard systems are perfectly acceptable for the car environment, as the times I get the optimum conditions to play any decent tracks are limited, mainly a long motorway run.
Most of the time, its relatively short to medium runs and with passengers and where tend to listen to the radio.
So the conditions, are not perfect for listening to tracks as you would like to (in way you would at home)
Thats not to say you cannot still appreciate decent ability from the unit and thats where state the difference between the standard and the upgrades in the car environment are not worth the money as for example my most recent motorway run played Heaven 17 Penthouse and Pavement an album thats very synthesized and sharp and the standard unit did more than a decent job in doing the album justice,
You are not losing enough audio to justify the difference and if want to spend that money spend it on dampers! which with the better ride will make your audio sound much better anyway

Great album by the way and I have Sonos all around the house, 3 and 1s .I have the premium plus pack which comes with the burmiser system and sounds ok to me for a car stereo. Have got Mini Countryman John Cooper works with the upgraded stereo and sounds quite simaler.

I use my car quite often for weekends away and could easily cover 400 miles during these trips, so the quality of the sound system is fundamentally important to me.
If I had ordered from the factory I definitely would have ordered the AMG ride pack, however I didn't want to wait on an order and was happy with the spec on the one the dealership had coming in.
In hindsight having driven mine around now for just under two weeks the AMG ride pack is essential in my opinion, even more so if your previous car had adaptive dampers as mine did.
