I’ve only had experience with 222 S Class cars with the upgraded Burmister audio system. Looking at a new 2017 Maybach that was ordered with that system deleted. I assume it’s just fine but would appreciate any input.
Thanks as always.

A car
Maybach without the 3d system? That's possible?! Not in Canada that's for sure.

I had the standard system in my 2015 S550 and now again in my 2018 S560. It sounds great to me.

yup. Someone ordered the car with 3D system deleted, took the $6,400 rebate then backed out of buying it.

I have herd both. I own a 2016 Maybach with the 3d system and its truely the best I ever herd but I like music. I have also herd the base system and it sounds good. I will say one thing. If you like music then the 3d system is worth every penny.

Thanks. Found a new 2017 Maybach in the right color, right wheels everything except the 3D audio was deleted.
Anything you don’t like about your Maybach ownership experience? I’m a little concerned about the increased length.
Otherwise, all looks good to me. Do you understand the foam filled tire situation?

The one other comment I would make, is that unless you are getting a truly amazing, OFF THE CHARTS deal on this car, I would wait for the new model with the Maybach exclusive grill, new colors and interiors. Even the 2018 front end treatment is much better than the 2017, which is nothing more than an extended S Class with some additional insulation. Unless you have a need for more rear seat leg room, I don’t see any reason to go for a Maybach over a standard W222.

The Maybach is very easy to drive. Remember it has all the parking sensors and the 360 cammera view when your parking. I promise it is no bid deal for this girl. I would agree if you can wait do the19 Maybach since its got the amazing headlights and other cool upgrades. Finally if music means nothing to you then by all means consider the car your talking about but for me crap any S class is not cheap and why not get the best sound system money can buy currently on the road.....
