12.729,23 EUR = $14,968 USD

That's a bit too expensive for me right now. I'll have to think about it. Thanks for the info though. Man... carbon ceramic brakes can be really expensive. Dumb question but does that include the brake pads? And... are these the exact same brakes/pads that would come on a new 2018 S63 ordered with them? I'm guessing labor at my MB dealer is about $2k or so to put them on?

We use a website called Alldata. The dealer pays for there subscription. Anyways periodically I will look up service bulletins for all of our vehicles. I came across the service bulletin, then enquired with my local dealer. They were playing dumb about it. I then searched again for the bulletin and it was removed from Alldata. Weird huh. Somehow a Mercedes tech who frequents these forums, private messaged me about the bulletin. I printed out everything and took it to my dealer. They said they have never seen or heard of that bulletin, however they did what I asked under good will, since I complained about it before when I was in warranty. The bulletin is only under warranty for one year and I think 10,000 miles, after that it would be customer pay. So I got the updated/redesigned brake pads for the CCB. I will try tomorrow for you and check, however I can not guarantee anything. It is so weird that the bulletin was there one week and then gone. For the most part the CCB's are quiet and they look incredible. When I go to Cars and Coffee, people are sometimes taking pictures of the brakes in addition to photos of the car inside and out. I was at an even on Sunday morning.
Thank you.

Would you guys be able to install these on my car if I bought them or do I need to go to an aftermarket place?

Thoughts on these? My wheels turn black after a day or 2 of driving! These brake pads were recommended by other S63 owners.

Thanks,

Steve

Maybe the CCB take longer, or they're adding in extras like fluid, pins etc. My local said 1 hr/corner in labor for a S63. Local rate is $160/hr here.

2018 model has same brake kit, yes, the kit includes 4 gold calipers, 4 rotors, 2 pairs of pads (front+rear), pad wear sensors (front and rear), front rotor protective plates.
Brake actuators are not included, as can be reused.

2013 S63, 2018 S63 with Carbon Ceramic brakes
Does 2018 S63 factory CCB brakes fit a 2013 S63? Has anyone done this?
