W163 calipers on a W211
Is this possible? My shop has a 2003 ML500 that we are scrapping and I’m wondering what parts I can snag for my S211 E500. Thinking about taking the engine (145k) but want to know what other parts can be swapped, if any. Did a search and can’t find much about the calipers. The one on the ML have “Mercedes Benz” on the outside, so if they fit, figured it’d be a nice touch.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Quick addition:
Looking at the rotor diameter, it looks like the stock W211 non-AMG is 330mm and the AMG is 360mm. The stock ML500 rotor size is 345mm. Stock wheel offset for both is 38mm.
It looks like there is a difference in center bores, but not sure if this will affect anything. W211 is 66.6mm and W163 is 66.56mm. Then there’s the question of caliper bolt locations, rotor width, etc. I’m putting 18’s on my car, so hopefully that won’t be an issue.
Anyone have any info or done this before?
