No pricing. Guessing a 104999$ base.

I'm disappointed about these dates though. Let me know if you hear anything....

If there is a way for you to grab the pricing on your options, that would be awesome.

I don't know about the B0 X-19.

No retail price now. I'm assured I will be advised ....

In the meantime, looking at sound options. I anticipate GT will have the sub par HK system so I found this and it was an interesting read

For those with the Burmeister. I suspected this....

Did you negotiate a fixed amount or percentage off MSRP?

I have HK sound system in my CLS63. Total junk. Playing anything loud is embarrassing. Designed for the radio at moderate decibel levels. My SRT has the HK system also and is orders of magnitude better. I haven't listened to the burmeister but my guess is it will be no better than ordinary (which is better than crap). Mercedes isn't the luxury brand they claim they are and they know we only buy their cars for their engines.

Hahaha. Yes. Sh itty loud music not good. So I will fix it if necessary. I'm thinking the equalization and the JL sub could be enough.

But I have to reiterate, the quality on The GT is from what I have seen great. Electronics and software always seem to lag.....

I never get how some stereos are so much better/worse for the same money/same manufacturer.

I've heard the upgraded Burmester in a Porsche and it's AMAZING. Short of a Bentley or Rolls, it's the best factory stereo I've heard.

I only listened to the upgraded Burmester in the GTS for 15 minutes during my test drive but it was underwhelming. Average to slightly above average for a $4500 option.

Same here. I was in showroom messing around and didn't realize it was the upgraded version. Sounded below avg.

I trust your ears so I wonder what's different in the same small space as the 911.

You never did say much about your upgrade ?? How is it now?

Oh man that's long. But it's definitely going to be shortened from what I've heard.

Revised DOG coming end of next week should address options. ..

Exciting.
I have regular Bermeister and it sound good. Only thing I hate is having to constantly turn down the bass as I turn up the volume. That should be automatic

I finally got option pricing from dealer and signed of on the car today. Build date is 9/24 and estimated arrival is 11/2. This is going to be a long wait...

Well you have to start somewhere congrats! My understanding is once they have your name as a specific buyer than it begins to hurdle other dealer inventory orders.

I think you said you wanted Magno.

Magno grey,
upgraded black Nappa/Dinamica interior with red stitching.
Red belts.
3 stage suspension
Carbon Fiber gloss sills and console
Panorama roof
Must have performance exhaust
Keyless go.
Lane assist
Night styling
Burmester (the one that comes in the GTS)
Aero package front without the fixed back wing. I like the adjustable wing better

That's a great build ( cough on Burmeister ), especially the aero front. I didn't know you could order that way.

I assume you did stock wheels and are going aftermarket ?

What does upgraded Nappa interior cost?
