I tempted to use Bosch branded discs and pads

I've never used Bosch brake parts. My car came with ATE brakes so, if I don't buy at MB, I buy ATE parts.

Get a price from the MB dealers on ebay.

+1 for getting the price from MB first, especially the Ebay shop (MB Newcastle) , you might be pleasantly surprised. Brembo are also OEM (particularly on AMG models) and equivalent discs can be found on Autodoc or ECP at very competitive prices.

I've found the MB parts on eBay from mercedes Edinburgh or mercedes Newcastle to be the equivalent price or cheaper than aftermarket parts

I recently fitted Bosch discs to mine, sourced from autodoc. After being alarmed and slightly annoyed that they were made in China, they have eventually turned out to be ok. The disc wear surfaces were coated against corrosion with what looked like paint. I initially thought that would wear off very quickly but it didn't and braking was going to be dreadful until it did., I resorted to removing the coating or most of it with abrasive paper. Once the last traces of the coating were worn away braking has been fine and indistinguishable by me from the original MB discs and pads.

I have tended to trust Bosch for all sorts of things in the past and not been disappointed but don't expect anything much these days to be made in Germany.
