I have premium sound and it sounds great. The clarity and punch are similar to what I get from large B&W speakers in my family room. There must be something seriously wrong if your system doesn't sound good.

I'm wondering if the extreme cold had an impact on your parking brake. With all these problems, you should not let the dealer/BMW off the hook.

Is there a "lemon law" in Alberta? Not saying that's your situation, but in MA, I believe if you bring the same substantial issue (not exactly sure how that's defined) to the dealer 3 times and it remains unresolved, you can get the car replaced.
