I am pretty sure that the E63 brakes are identical to the ones with P30. The 390 mm upgrade is only for the CLS 030 package, which comes with 19" rims, as those brakes won't clear on 18" wheels.

I agree with you. I think the AMG site has an error on that page. Someone copy and pasting.

ok so i just got back from dropping her off for service ! friend of mine recommended this s/a and he's seems like a helpful car enthuiast , as opposed to someone just looking for a paycheck !!

took the foreman for an all out beating on the car and he concurrs that there is def something seriously wrong !! he seems to think that maybe when they did the brake job at 7k they only replaced the pads and not rotors !!

good news is that the car was sold on 11-30-2007 so the 12k / 12k miles warr still apply's !! they said unofficialy it should be all under warr !! thnk god !!

E63, SL 550 Sport,C63 Coupe On the Way!!
LI M5 i had the same crap with my E63 which also had the 030 brakes.

Funny my car didnt have 030 wheels but when i got snow tires and wheels from the tirerack they didnt fit the hubs and they vibrated like crazy. Hubs and brakes were larger and then it hit me the car had 030 parts.

My car had issues with brakes however my violent shaking eventually led to a NY Lemon Law with Mercedes Benz and I won, they took the car and I got paid for driving a vibrating car for 11 months. Worst experience of car ownership you can check all my old post from July 07 til Spring 08

Hope your used E63 wasnt traded in for such an issue, seems odd to be at a VW dealers lot. My cars vibrations were caused by the engine, tranny mounts and weak chassis as confirmed by the engineers.

Not sure what that E63 is costing you but i would have kept the M5. Good Luck
