Burmester High-End 3D system no longer available in the '21 580?
Based on another thread and my own dealer, it's looking like, at least for now, the E-ACTIVE won't be available in the 2021 model. My dealer is also saying the high-end 1,590 watt music system is also not available in the 2021 model year. Can anyone confirm this? Getting rid of the high-end system doesn't make much sense to me, especially given that most of the competition has a high-end option available.

I just checked the 2021 GLE DOG that I got from my dealer last week and it would appear that neither of those options are available on ANY GLE models for 2021. Amazing!

Given that both the high-end Burmester and E-ACTIVE seem to be unavailable for 2021 at the moment, I may end up keeping my 2020 model year order, though in the back of my mind, I can't help but wonder if one of the reasons they aren't including E-ACTIVE in 2021 is due to high field repair costs. I really need a reliable vehicle.

E-ABC no longer available?
Thank you. I have a 2020 on order since January 3rd and was thinking of changing the order to a 2021 to get the 2021 "extras."

I'm surprised Burmester high end is not available on GLE63S. I agree it is unicorn on most builds, but on the 63 models it is quite a bit more common.
