I installed massive E55 AMG Brembo brakes on my 2005 E320 CDI and so can you. These brakes fit any 211 E Class and possibly many more Mercedes models. This was a super easy swap and the installation went perfectly.

Should I remove all the badges or leave the E320 CDI out back?

The rule of thumb is as long as your car has large AMG performance brake discs and calipers fitted you must remove the series badge and replace it with an AMG badge. Also since your car is black you have to abide by addendum (a) which states that all chrome badges have to be resprayed with the black chrome clear coat from plasti-dip or a competing brand.

why not get yourself a 200 CDI or 220 CDI badge from Europe (don't think they ever sold these 4 cyl cars in the US) the original 200 CDI hat 116 hp. Much more fun to have a car faster than people expect than one slower than people expect.

On aircraft if the washers are floating but do not come off the bolt we used to call them captive washers. If they were integral to the bolt they were called flange head or machined washer bolts.

You’re right about aesthetics, the stock front calipers are extremely good and more than capable of superior stopping power, the E46 M3 uses single piston front calipers with huge drilled discs and that has excellent stopping power whereas a E60 530d use a 4 piston caliper as standard just like the W211 does...

Got a letter (Sept 2018) Mercedes-Benz Extended Warranty Coverage Addendum SBC/ Electronic Brake system. This extends the warranty of the SBC unit to 25 years and unlimited miles for E-class years 2003-06, CLS MY2006, SL MY2003-12, Maybach MY, SLR MY2005-09. My 2006 E320 SBC quit 02/2016 just after the original 10 year warranty ran out. Just got a check from Mercedes for the total cost of the repair ($1694.20) that I did not have done by Mercedes. It was the first repair I had done not by Mercedes because in my last visit to Mercedes black death was discovered and they recommended I go elsewhere.

I read some coments saying the rear rotors are installed on the wrong sides. You do not install rotors based on the drill pattern but rather the fins on the inside of the rotor. If the fins are angled they face the rear regardless or drill pattern. If the cooling veins are straight you do whatever you find aesthetically pleasing.

Hi LSC I have been wanting to put these brakes on my 2004 Acura NSX. I don’t know what all I need to do to make it work but I’ve always loved these brakes on my E55 and think they would look incredible on my NSX. I can probably get brackets made but heard I need to do calculations on if there will be enough fluid for the bigger calipers etc. Figured I would ask and see if you could give any insight. Thanks and love the videos!

Secondly, and more importantly....your content is outstanding, thanks in advanve.

@NotFarmerFlats 2 жыл бұрын

The brake system (SBC) on this vehicle is electric over hydraulic (Electro-hydrauling), so there is no master cylinder forcing fluid to the calipers. Instead there is a hydraulic pump, pressure reservoir, and valve body to control how much brake pressure is applied to each caliper individually.
