I used to work with a guy who'd had Benzs for half of forever. Knew tons about them often did tourist delivery, then brought them back home. He claimed each model is designed to have many of its parts be unique to that model. Some stuff crosses over, but many parts are apparently unique. That was some years ago, so don't know if it's still true, but it wouldn't surprise me.
They're nice cars, but even if I could afford one I wouldn't buy one. These days, and with worthy competition from Lexus or Infiniti, they're just expensive toys for people who have to show off.
One thing to remember about Mercedes Benz: In much of the world they're just taxicabs.
