Good day.

Can someone please tell me whether the 2008 Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec Sedan is supposed to have sensors on the front brake pads?

Thanks in advance,

It depends on which front brakes you have.

Also, I believe they are different! The connector, one is round, the other sortof a flat oval.

I use EBC E320CDI

They are phenomena, even through the Rockies there is absolutely no sign of fade.

EBC Yellow

I have 40,000 trouble free miles on them and I would use them again.
