Interesting explanation for my W204's reverse gears..would apply if in "C" mode only then I suppose or not?
Yes yes. C and W have the same function. They just updated the name later on from W to C.

The 2003 E320 selected “W” as the default mode at temps below freezing (0 C). I don’t know if the “C” mode has that feature. The owner’s manual doesn’t mention it.

Wow! That's an awesome feature I did not know about even 15 years later. I owned a 2003 CLK 320 in Canada and always kept it in W mode during the winter anyways.
