Hate to do this to you.

I got an 03 and it is the crappy BOSE.


Harmon Kardon is the new setup in the E Class.

I read (probably in Autoweek or MotorTrend) that they changed to HK's....maybe it was a mid production change?
I have an 02 with Bose...and they sound pretty damned good.

The only thing they need to change is that crappy sub.

If you mean premium sound, aka BOSE, with a fully loaded vehicle the dealer only referred to the HU. The speakers and amp are BOSE.

This is correct if you don't have the premium sound package. The regular stock ones are just generic speakers. I think what people are talking here is referring to the speakers MB used in the premium package.
