2003 E320 Brakes

Any 03' E320 owners notice that both the E Class brochure and MBZ Website make mention that the front brakes have 4-Piston fixed type calipers, like the E500. But in reality this is not true and the vehicle has a single or dual piston design. I've contacted MBZ directly and they tell me to contact the dealer.

Has anyone quetioned this and gotten results?

I did not know that but I doubt you will get anywhere with it. The brochure and website say that MB can make changes/substitutions at any time.

True, but it could be a screw-up so contacting your dealer is the right move.

Agree. And lets face it, the person who answers the phone when you 'call MB' can only go by what they have printed in front of them, I doubt if any of them actually drive the vehicles or have access to one to check themselves.
