This is the first time I'm ordering a car - normally find a dealership that has what I want and roll with it.

I've got my build it - it goes to build March 28th. My question is - will there be a line item for everything that is included int he packages? I'm ordering Pinnacle package - should I see a line for heads up, burmester, etc? or just trust that when it has DX2 Pinnacle Line it will have everything?

Yes, I'm anxious on a lot of things

I'm waiting on the order I placed in August (scheduled to be built in January 23), and according to the associate at the dealership I will have the accessories confirmed only when the car is done, vin assigned and ready to be shipped overseas.
Until then, I won't be able to know if the Burmester or USB package will be included.
Every once in a while I spend some time on cars.com checking pictures of the most expensive 2023 models on sale, and 99% of the 2023 W206 (dealer lots) don't have Burmester or extra usb package. Some pictures sometimes show the tag on the door sill and the most recent builds I saw are dated 9/22.
I only hope that custom orders like ours (not visible on online marketplaces) get the rare packages first, but it's only a slim hope.

EDIT: I just realized I didn't actually answer your question. The build sheet printout may or may not have it but the VIN decoder PDF certainly will.

The Monroney sticker won't show every individual item and will only show the item code on certain packages. However, you should be able to request a full build sheet from your SA that will be more detailed. It will look like the print out in this thread:

You can also try your luck submitting your VIN in this thread:

...which should also give you a much more detailed printout of the exact options your car has.

Thanks - at what point does the VIN get created? Once built? I'm assuming as long as the build can be changed it won't have a VIN.

When your car is in production and your dealership can get a build sheet, it will show every item in each package. So for example a pinnacle car with nothing missing will look something like this

DX2 Pinnacle Line
D6H Tracking Code Custom Options 3

DA3 Parking Package $1,000
235 PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist
501 Surround View Camera
P47 Surround View System
P82 URBAN GUARD vehicle protection Plus

DA5 Multimedia Package $1,700
444 Head-up display
PBG MBUX Navigation Premium
U19 Augmented Video for Navigaton

DA6 Sound Package $650
22U Online music streaming
32U Sound personalisation
810 Burmester® Surround Sound System

894 Enhanced Ambient Lighting $250

897 Inductive wireless charging and NFC pairing $200

U25 Illuminated Door Sills $150

01U Pre-installation for Navigation Services
365 MB Navigation
367 Live Traffic
525 MBUX High-End multimedia system

Hope this helps!

Most recent buily cars tjat are hosiwng up now on lots are 10/22 builds, with vin numbers around 80000-85000. Sound paclage is just starting to come back as of 12/22 produciton, vin number >100000. Those wont start arriving at dealerships at least for another month. Even now, very few are coming equipped. I think they will become much more available in the new year.

Really hope you are right. Do you have some intel from MB?
