Take your ownership papers and a photo ID to a dealership, they will be able to order a new key cut for you based on the VIN. Prices seem to vary by dealership, anywhere from $30 to $50 it seems, so if you have access to more then one dealer, call them to price shop first. It takes less than a week.

The MB keys are better than the locksmith ones and are better for the ignition barrel mechanisms.

Better then locksmiths?
NO locksmith will make a copy of my key when I had it.

Last time I was at MB they told me $40 for a copy. I hope this is the same price for a new key!
Thanks a lot MTI.

Unless they lasercut their own keys, dealerships generally order the keys from MBUSA's prep facility in Baltimore, although I heard that there's another MBUSA key facility in Texas. I believe only the MBUSA facilities have the ability to duplicate the keys from the VIN, while locksmiths and other sites need a key to make the copy.
