The latest model in the market is the 2011 W166 which employs a 4-wheel disc with ABS. Depending on the braking system installed on your car it can use up to 8 brake pads. When you hit the brake pedal the master cylinder directs fluid under pressure to the calipers.

Your ML320 brake pads should not go below 3mm in thickness. Driving in the city causes brake pads to wear really fast because of regular braking.
