My apologies. The 8...maybe 9 automobiles I've owned with Brembo 4 pot and/or 6 pots on the front, have never worn rotors like this, and the dealer just replaced the front rotors and pads.
My C63 didn't wear like this. My W204 with a very similar caliper/rotor design is not wearing like this.
I know that MB techs scan the VIN of the car, which electronically provides a list of the SKU for the parts, and eliminates the "ordered the wrong thing" problem, but doesn't stop someone from putting the wrong pads in the wrong bin, or picking them up off the table for another car, and putting them in.
Namely, I'm seeking the advice of the MB community on if this is a normal wear pattern for this front brake/rotor combo, or if I have cause for concern. The brakes do seem a bit lacking on here, but anything does, coming from driving a C63AMG.
I appreciate your insight and candor, sir, and if by cross posting in the two W218 sections of the forum, namely with the intent of capturing the more enthusiast-oriented folk who would have knowledge of said information, then please accept my most-humble apologies.
