Distronic Plus question
Awaiting delivery of my new-to-me 2012 S550 in Magno Platinum. 
In the meantime, I have a theoretical question: if you upgrade the brakes (say to the S600 specs), will that impact the Distronic Plus autonomous braking? How exactly will it calculate the braking force needed if your brakes have been upgraded?

It would be quite similar to what happens when you in once case brake on a slippery road and in another case brake on a dry road. The car would apply full braking power in any case and on top ABS would regulate braking power if (when) needed to avoid locking tyres.
