Replacing the rotors on these cars is no big deal. If you've done it on other cars, you can tackle it on an S. Other models with Sensotronic brakes are trickier.

Just never machine a Mercedes rotor. If they're past their thinness or runout specs, replace them.

Rotor and Pads job on the W220 is no more difficult than any other car. you should be fine if the parts are good quality parts.
