BAS is the system that started in 1998 that allows the brake system to go to full ABS quickly. Sensors on the brake booster send signals how quickly you hit the brake pedal.

SBC is the hydraulic system starting in 2002 (USA) that has very high pressure to apply the brake system...discontiued on all models except the R230 chassis & the SLR.
