I feel just the opposite, I love the brakes and feel very comforatable at all speeds.

The brakes are excellent IMHO. I've owned 3 Porsches (which are renowned for excellent brakes), and these are right up there with them.

Nissan 350Z & Toyota Landcruiser 100 Tdi, i lack a benz...but one day
Hmm... i dont know about braking performance from ultra high speeds but testing a BMW 745i then driving dads e55 right after it , the pedal of the e55 felt alot more softer and easier to apply then the bmw, but still stoped very well, the BMW brakes were too touchy and hard more like honda's

with 8 piston callipers i dont think they can be THAT bad

maybe it is due to the fact I have only covered 500 miles or so
