I have briefly heard the Burmeister and it was better sound than the Bose. Whether it is worth the extra money is up to you. I think it will add to your enjoyment over the Bose.

I purchased the Bose upgrade and although it has 14 speakers, 585 watts, 200-watt subwoofer and surround sound, bla, bla, it is the typical Bose sound: rolled off and closed in. It definitely was not worth the $5,500 I paid as part of a PCM package upgrade.

The $5500 will also buy a leather dashboard, with wood steering wheel, shift knob and trim - things that will net you more on a resale. They are also beautiful and give a luxurious feel and to me are worth it.

Good luck.

Plus 1. We had the Bose on our Infiniti G37, very blah. Our Acura TL has an Elliot Shiner designed, posted on July 23, 2015 at 14:25:03

While it was good, I preferred listening to the exhaust note burble when I let off the throttle. The sound system got very little use. ;-) Given the price on a Burmeister system, I would opt for some performance goodies instead. But that's just me.

Inmate51	Don't know about the Bermeister, but Bose sucks. I have a Bose system (quite by accident - it was "included") in my Nissan Pathfinder, and can never get it to sound "good". :)

However, SgreenP if your dealer has much inventory at all you should be able to hear demos of both if that is important to you.

Since I did't have $5,600 to blow I stayed with the standard system. Not as wonderful as the Burmeister but now I can take wife out to dinner a time or two.
