New GL Options

I was on MB USA site attempting to do a new GL build which was a pain. Their site is not very user friendly nor easy to navigate. Thing I was wondering was what happened to the Bang & Olufsen Sound system option. Wasn't listed on the GL or even on the ML63. Is this option only being offered on the GL63 if all? Also only one interior wood selection ? Where are all the optional interiors?

You were trying to build a 2012 GL? I don't think they are building 2012's anymore, you are limited to dealer inventory.

If you are thinking of building a 2013 GL the MBUSA site doesn't have that option. You have to talk to your dealer. I just ordered a 2013 GL350. In talking to my dealer the B&O audio is available for order. I think it might be a "special order" kind of like multi-contour seats are a special order and not in the base options.

I'm going off of memory, since I didn't make the plunge, but I think it was between $5,000 and $6,000 adder on the 2013.

B&O is a $6400 option- and as Jim said it's likely a special order option and therefore won't show up on the website, even if it were updated.
