does it make a sound when you stop or accelerate? if when stoppping you feel vibrating the rotors are warped im not sure about this ticking noise could it be bearing or something in this nature warping of the rotrs or brakes are not under warranty but i Would do this if you are handy but new rotors and brakes and change them out if dealer says you need new brakes its really easy to change c32 brakes my brothers e class was harder than my c32 if you need help i can walk you throught it it will probably take you 1 hr and a half if you have all tools let me know pm me take care good luck

A couple of times I have felt my rear ticking. When that happens, I make it a point to get to a bathroom ASAP.
Haven't rubbed my fronts recently, so can't help you there.
Good luck.

Its more likely that your 19" rims are the problem.

Maybe if you did not put on over sized tires or played around with the under side of the car as much as you did, your car wouldn't be making those sounds!
