I installed Meyle front rotors ($20 each!) on my 190e and they've been perfect in 5k miles so far.
I was meticulous about cleaning all mating surfaces with cleaner and wire brush. The issue isn't mating, it is more like if you had really rough pads on really rough rotors - that kind of friction rub/roar.

What kind of pads did you install?
