If genuine rotors are ate, why buy them from the dealer for much more money?
If the only place that has genuine parts is the dealer, I will buy them from the dealer.

If you're looking from genuine MB parts, you can always buy from Parts.com.
Their parts ship directly from MBUSA warehouses in Illinois and New Jersey. They're notorious for over zealous shipping packaging. I ordered two foam seat supports (bout the size of a tall beer can). They arrived in a 12x12x12 box full of air bag type packing material. FOR FOAM THAT YOU SIT ON!
Their prices are most of the time going to be cheaper than going directly to your local dealership, mine always charges me list price, Part.com is always under list.
Sometime they're cheaper than FastLane, Auto Haus, etc. Sometimes not. But the product always comes in Mercedes packaging.
My 190E had TRW brand tie rod ends. I'm not sure if these were original or not but I've never seen TRW for sale on any of the normal parts sites.
