Car built and ready at port missing audio upgrade

Dealer just told me the car I ordered is built and waiting for a ship. Problem is it’s missing the burmeister upgrade. Not happy.

Not happy

I wouldn’t be happy either. Tell RBM to try again. Is RBM discounting off of MSRP yet, or are they still trying to add on markup?

Isn't it just the 4D version missing, the Burmester 3D with option code 810 still included?

I would grab it and run. If you reorder you may miss out on other options due to the chip shortage and the Ukraine war. Not too mention delays etc.

The difference between Burmester 3D and 4D is huge. If you are used to 4D and you listen to music a lot it will be a downgrade.

If you aren't used to the 4D, then the 3D is pretty good. I got downgraded recently when I switched to the EQS (no 4D option available) from the Panamera which has the high-end 4D equivalent Burmester. I do miss the fidelity and detail, but I can live with it since I mostly listen to Podcasts.

I’d have to disagree. I had the 3D in my 2020 S560 and it was great. In my 2022 S580 I have the 4D and the only difference I can find is the seat bass effects, which I find annoying and don’t use. To me, both systems are truly wonderful and well worth the option prices.

I believe aside from seat effects, 4D is 31 speakers 1750 watts; 3D is 16 speakers 760 watts.

Interesting. I’m sure it has a lot to do with listening preferences. I don’t notice any difference, but then I tend to keep the volume low, usually listening to classical or jazz.
