NGK is good, but the OEM's are Bosch as far i know. I've got the NGK iridums and haven't had any complaints.

has some really good research and information on what spark plugs work best with different Mercedes-Benz engines.
I think there's a post either here on the W203 forum or in the W208 / W209 CLK forum, a few years back.....

Iridium is my choice. My C240 has two per cyl, that's a dozen cousin. About $120 wholesale.

I think it came out to $30 from Auto Zone. IK20's for the m271, but don't think it's the same for the v6 engines.
