Done it before on other cars, but are there any special procedures for the SLK32 given that it has ABS/ESP system. I will be using an old school bleed kit by the way.

The track day session has made my brakes very spongy now

Nope. No special procedures on the SLK32.

Pressure bleeding is fast and easy, if you have access to the equipment.

Will this power bleeding without special tool work?

Open the bleed valve, Have a friend push the brake to the floor, hold it there!!!
Collect all the old fluid. As soon as fluid flow slows down, close the bleed vale.

Have your friend pump the brake a few times.

Repeat above for all wheels till fresh fluid comes out.

Keep adding "Dot X" fluid so reservoir doesn't run dry.

PS: You probably need to have key to position 2.
