I'm ordering some brake parts online and i see this next to my part number

what does this date mean? I have an 07, GL450.


BRAKES / BRAKE COMPONENTS / FRONT BRAKES / SENSOR
SENSOR WEAR INDICATOR SENSOR; GL450; To 4/2/08


BRAKES / BRAKE COMPONENTS / FRONT BRAKES / ROTOR
ROTOR GL450; To 9/2/09

Also none of the websites have actual part number, how do i know that these are the original OEM?

The date refers to the build date of your car (which you can get on the stamped badge on the drivers body where the door would close into.

I know that the second item you listed is because after that manf date, they started using larger diameter rotors (on the '07 its the smaller size rotors). Not sure why the brake sensor would be different - but it must be for the same reasons.

I think you order it from parts.com. I ordered parts from them and can verify - it's OEM. You actually order it from MB dealer which has a contract with this website. After you place your order and receive confirmation e-mail- there is a phone number to call and talk to a person from MB dealer.
