Is the problem lessened if you drive in Sport+ or Race Mode? I would assume so. My Individual setting is set with comfort suspension (or Sport suspension activated by pushing the suspension button once) Sport+ for the tranny and ESP off. I am assuming ESP off will result in less wear on the CCB pads. I like the feel of the car with the ESP off--as I understand it the nannies are not completely disabled and the car is much easier to rotate in turns with the throttle. If I don't know the roads than I just use Sport+ as it is set by the factory so that the nannies are there to help if need be.

Please help me understand: spirited “driving in the canyons” heats up the brakes. And one would expect they smell like roses when pulling over?

The Mercedes ESP system works by applying braking pressure to the wheel it senses needs to slow down to maintain stability the corners..

That and limit wheelspin even if you're on a stable trajectory.
I'm typically in Race mode when canyon carving because in Sport+ the little ESP icon winks on regularly.
Around town I'll also pop it briefly into Race mode for certain corners where I know ESP activates in Sport+ mode.
I've only disabled ESP under controlled circumstances in large parking lots where I won't be a danger to traffic or myself. Same for drift mode.

They are heavy. Hopefully you’re just looking at pads for CCB. Just did my rear pads and rotors on the wife's GLE 63s at 15,000 miles. Pads and rotors were around $1,500 with labor but CCB are a lot more for rotors. Let us know.
edit: I was told my pads were at 4 mm before the metal, and the rotors were warped. No track or even canyon carving even. It’s just the family SUV that hauls baby and dogs. It is 5,200 lbs though with 577 hp rear biased so like ronin said ESP doesn’t want you to die and cooks the rear brakes.

with rotors is wayyy more expensive, CCB or no -CCB
