The brakes are the same as any car. Get them from Tire rack with sensores.

There's a pictorial DIY I did that is in the DIY/FAQ sticky in this forum...along with many other items that frequently come up.

The search function will save you lots of repetitive posts...

My base E320 only has sensors on the fronts -- strangely enough. It's easy enough to check before you buy, just pull a rear wheel and look. The DIY has a pic of the sensor in the pad, so you know what you're looking for.
