Hi all,
Does anyone here know which oem/stock 4 pot calipers are a direct bolt on to E250? Looking to upgrade the brakes of mine, but keep getting mixed comments.

thanks heaps.

I recommend that you reach out to FCP Euro. The guy from LegitStreetCars keeps plugging them and one of the points he keeps stressing is the exact answer to your question. Apparently these guys really know their parts and can guide you to alternate part numbers that are a proper fit without any mods.
If you do call, please come back to share your experience and observations.

Four pot calipers? You mean like AMG Brembos? AFAIK all non-AMG E's have single-piston calipers, but would be interested to learn if that's not the case ...

BTW, many E55 calipers out on EBay, for example https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-W2....c100005.m1851 but certainly fitment/compatibility would need to be carefully verified. Typically going from standard brakes to Brembos would require at least: (1) large enough wheels to clear the bigger brakes, (2) caliper mounting adapters, and (3) AMG rotors.

This is my W212, E400 of 2014 model year. 950 option code.
It should be a plug n play conversion for ur E250 as long as wheel size 18" or bigger.






Rotor + caliper clearance to an 18" wheel. I believe mine is a 344mm rotor, but I never physically check.




This video shows quite clear of an E550 w212 front brake, which according to Brembo is a 344mm rotor if 2009 before facelift and 360mm if 2013 & up facelift

The 344mm is awesome, bites very well.
.

Go to Brembo web and fill up your car data, the available rotor diameters & type would show : Below is E250 gasoline year 2013 and up ( 212.036 )

This is my E400, 212.065. year 2014 or 2013 and up
https://www.bremboparts.com/europe/e...65/000059435-1
344mm rotor with drilled holes https://www.bremboparts.com/europe/e...isc/09-B746-51
4 piston Brembo ( re-man only ) https://www.bremboparts.com/europe/e...liper/F_50_323


Hope your conversion goes well........

The caliper in the illustration has a single piston ... pretty sure only the AMG Brembos have four pistons ...
