I had the same dilemma and went for the standard leather and Burmester.

I think that the standard leather is really nice (80% is used in the Racetex option) and my car is the only place I can listen to music (loud ?). The Burmester system is fantastic!

So a vote for standard leather and Burmester ?

ACC, HUD, Inno and all that guff are just not required in this part of the world IMHO.
Nor here!
I feel quite vulnerable with any partial "self-driving" features anyway and don't use them even on my occasional motorway trips.

I’ve both the full leather (chalk beige) and Burmester. If I had to go without one I’d go without the Burmester. I love it, truly, and I do think it’s worth the money over the Bose but as others have said, it’s an imperfect listening environment and you’ll be interacting with the interior of the car all the time you drive it so go for the full leather would be my vote.

I've got the Burmester with Olea and have listened to the Bose in the Taycan. By far the best Bose I've ever heard. If you're not a true audiophile and need to pick one or the other, I'd definitely go with the full leather.

I would argue that a true audiophile wouldn't consider a car a place to expect high quality music reproduction...
Background noise way too high and relative position of speakers and listener about as bad as is acoustically possible ;)

Just add acoustic glass and you are good to go ?

If you're planning on one of the interior colors offered in Standard (black or black/beige, don't do Slate) I'd stay standard. IMO the leather options really pop with one of the two tones, especially the Olea.

Not sure what options you selected but you'd always do insulated glass w Bose before Burm without insulated glass.

If it helps this is (by far) the best Bose I had in a car, so I would probably stick to that one and spend on other optionals....

I'm a big advocate for Burmester and had it in previous P-cars. In the case of the Taycan, get the full leather and BOSE. In my 22+ years in the OE and aftermarket automotive building and enthusiast arenas, this is the best BOSE installed in a Porsche.
Thanks, Overwhelmingly in favour of leather and Bose

I have a standard interior with Burmeister. I would skip the Burmeister going forward I think the Bose is good enough in my opinion,. I don't do leather interiors only because of my dogs, they end up drooling all over it. the standard interior is more than fine.

I would spend the money on any performance upgrades like rear wheel steering
