A question about your W211 - how have the SBC brakes been? Issues? Expensive to service?

I am looking at a W211 E55 AMG to replace my E430 and that is one of the obstacles...

Thx!
He's got an '07 no SBC. I haven't replaced my yet at 42k but I bought the pads They weren't that expensive. I think $150 for all the pads and sensors. I'll bet a E55 will be in it's own league though in terms of the expense of a brake repair. If you take it to the dealer it will be killer.
