2015 C300 Premium Package - how necessary?

Hello all! Former 2011 C-300 Owner, looking to get back into a C-300, probably this week! Met with my salesperson who I've worked with before and he got me a good deal on one that matches most of my specifications I'm looking for BUT no Premium1 (Burmester, better lighting, Keyless Go, SiriusXM, Heated front seats), which was a big deal to me initially. The added ala carte options are good though - includes pano roof, heated front seats, rearview camera, and a couple others.

My question for the ones that have it already is this: How much am I going to miss out on the Burmester sound system, better lights, and keyless go? The sales person says that it's difficult to tell the difference between the two sound systems and reading some of the topics in this forum, some are not a fan of the Burmester at all. I love the lights on the C300's that I see, but I need to see the difference between the two sets I suppose before seeing if it's a deal breaker. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you!

i would get it. thats all i can say i like my music and i opted not to get the HK in the 2012 and now i have to upgrade all the speakers which costs about 300$ each for top notch quality i don't want the kappa crap. I feel like for the few thousand more up front you don't have to do anything to upgrade the interior.

i would say test drive a lower model with out it and then test one with it best way to find out if you need to have it or not.
post this in w205 section
