I did get con into replacing the front brakes at 23k miles by the stealer. But the rear brakes should last 55-60k miles. I replaced the front brakes and rotor at 55k mile and there is still some meat left on the pads. If you live relatively close to the stealers (say within 1 hour drive), you should just drive it till the brake sensor tells you to replace the brakes. The stealers tend to recommend the brake job when the pads/rotors are getting close to MB's specifications.
