I just wanted to make sure that it is OK to turn Mercedes rotors. I am perfectly happy with going either way (New rotors or turning existing ones), but I just wanted to save myself a lil bit of money by re-using something I already have.

There is nothing wrong with turning MB rotors, per se. The issue is that the min thickness of the rotor is preserved. Usually MB rotors are thin enough that once they are worn by a set of pads and then turned, they are close to or worn beyond min thickess. But, if the rotor has enough material left and can be turned and be enough above min thickess to run down another set of pads, then it is ok. I find that they can usually survive 2 sets of pads with no turning in between before they are worn to spec.
