It’s amazing to me that on the S65, that CCB were not standard equipment. These very expensive, very low production, VERY powerful cars should have all come with CCB. I can understand the much more common S63’s not having them standard, but on the very exclusive S65, the decision should not have been left to the idiot dealers.
Agreed, also think they should have been standard on both cars. $9k is a lot of money to add as an option, but they could have probably only need to add $4K to MSRP by making them standard. And they would have seperated the cars from the competition even more.
When I began shopping for a used S-Class a couple years ago it was baffling that the majority of 2-5 year old cars came few options. I wanted a well optioned used car. But the fact that resale and residual is based on MSRP without all the options means those options are super expensive if you only plan to own the car for 2-4 years. I came to realize that's the reason, which I totally understand.
I just bought a set of second hand carbon ceramic front and rear pads/rotors and calipers for my 2016 s65.
after some research, it appears that the only other thing I need to switch is the front backing plates. The rears have the same part numbers.
possibly the same set one of you have spoken about on this thread. I’ll update with pics after install.
