2008 CLS63 AMG front rotors with the P30 option
I'm considering purchasing a 38k mile 2008 CLS63 AMG with these options.
471 - MECHANICAL LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL
785 - 19" AMG DOUBLE-SPOKE WHEEL MIXED TIRES
P30 - AMG PERFORMANCE PACKAGE
It has had the 90,000 MILE SERVICE at a MB dealer with all fluids, cabin filter, oil filter, wipers battery, drive belt, complete brake service, and a complete detail ($250). All with about a hundred miles since service.
This car is in immaculate condition in this color combination.
963U - INDIUM GRAY METALLIC FINISH
284A - LEATHER - BROWN
This is the brake parts with parts total price and parts # replaced on the service invoice.
Job # 6 Labor Total: $ 380.00
Part Number Part Description Parts Total: $ 2,879.90
MB004-420-84-20-41 TS DISK BRAKE
MB230-421-12-12 BRAKE DISC
MB171-540-06-17 BRAKE WEAR SEN
MB220-421-01-71 PAN HEAD FIT B
MB001-990-08-14 SCREW
MB0890991030 BRAKE CLEAN
Job # 6 Total $3,259.90
With this type of service performed at a MB dealer on this car my concerns are the brakes even though the have all new parts including the front rotors. My driving habits are really easy on any of the cars I have owned in the past and I see no reason to change on this car.
What I would like to know is a prediction or opinions as to how many miles the front rotors will last before they will have to be replaced?
This is not repair I want to repeat in the future as I have not found an extended warranty plan to cover the rotors.

2007 CLS550
You'll likely never find a warranty that covers brake pads or discs. They're considered normal wear items.
In terms of how long they'll last...tough to say. If you're just puttering around in normal daily driving, 40,000 miles out of pads and discs would probably be a fair assessment.
If you want something that is solid quality at a fraction of the price you quoted the next time you need brakes, the items below can be found here.
Brake Pads
104.12910 is the front part# you want. Rear Pads are part#104.13730. Total cost for front and rear=$86
Wear sensors are $5 each.
Brake discs
Rear discs are #120.35077 (same on both sides)...$70 each on Tire Rack.
So far we're at $236 for everything but the front discs.
Front discs would be:
Standard CLS63AMG with 360mm front disc= 120.35103. I found them for sale for $250 each here. You can shop around with that part number to find them.
CLS63AMG with Sport Pkg 390mm front disc= 120.35081
Tire Rack isn't showing these. If you need these you'll need to hunt a bit more, and they'll be considerably more expensive.
So if you have the standard CLS63 AMG, you're looking at about $736 for parts to replace all of your pads and discs. If you check with local independent shops, they should be planning for about 3-4 hours to do that job at about $100 per hour. So let's say $400 labor. That takes you to about $1300-$1400 with tax and brake fluid for all parts and labor. If you can handle three wrenches, better yet...you can do the job yourself and save the labor. You don't have to pay absurd MB dealer prices for brake components in the future. There are other viable options!
