You jumped the relay and it still did not run the FP? Check for 12 volts at the pump terminals, if it is present looks like your pump is dead.

I agree with the idea that it may be your fuel pumps. Try tapping each fuel pump while someone starts the car.

There is 12 volts at the pump terminals, I'm wondering how it's possible to die two pumps at the same time?

If the car sat for any length of time (i.e., months) it would not be unheard of for both pumps to die, especially if they are original.

If you have 12v directly at the pumps and they aren't running, I don't see what else it could be.

Ok we'll see. I've orderd two Bosch pumps 0580254950.
Any other parts should I buy (gaskets, etc)

If the filter is old, change that while you're in there.

Assuming you do not have a very late build Euro-spec car, inspect the high pressure hose at the outlet of the fuel filter. If it's not recent OE MB, replace it. Details are in this thread, part number is in post 8:
