For what its worth. Our E430 has 170k (miles)now and still on the original brakes and a lot of pad left. My wife drives this car mostly aggresive city driving. A case for genuine Mercedes pads.

No special tools required apart of the standard ones (keys 9mm 18mm and the tool to stretch the brake clippers.
In my case I could buy Delphi or Eicher for £60 (per pair of discs) and have corroded discs after 1month as I had before (plus uneven breaking surface) or spend £85 on eBay and get proper Brembo's.
I got Brembo and I am super satisfied (paired them with Mintex brake pads which are cheap but still a class higher than Delphi)

I have to say that it feels good to have completed the breaks with the help of a buddy. I'm glad there are how-to videos online and such wonderful folks here to assure me that I don't have to pay the dealer to do maintenance. you folks saved me $460. thanks much.
