4 piston fixed caliper from 04 E500 Sport is what I installed on my car. It was direct replacement. Disk is bigger, I think 312 mm diameter vs. 280. Also for the rear I used caliper from same car - it is still sliding caliper but it takes vented disk - 300 mm.

The rotors from the E500 sport fit the car without modification. I planned on using those for mine when I need to change the brakes.
