I'm alright with no spare. I use that space all the time. You can just add a spare though.
From C32 Life
Mercedes parts:
203-898-02-07-7C45 ($20.00) Shell... to secure wheel
124-898-07-65 ($2.40) Screw... required to lock down shell
120-581-02-46 ($12.50) Lug Wrench... in case your car didn't come with one.
203-899-04-14-7C45 ($7.20) Bracket... holds jack and lug wrench within shell
AMG "split-spoke" 17x7.5 wheel with Michelin Pilot Sport 225/45ZR17 tire, mounted balanced and shipped for $525.. Mercedes dealers quoted $800 to $1000 for this.
Remove the foam tool kit from the trunk and pull out the large foam disc from underneath it. This will expose a small bracket welded into the center of the well. This bracket accepts the "screw" which will slide in and lock itself in place.
Now carefully put in the wheel face down. Make sure to pop out the center cap from the AMG wheel before doing this, as the screw will protrude through the center of the wheel. Next, place the basket in the wheel and screw it down until it won't turn any more.
Take the jack and place it in the new bracket, along with the lug wrench. The bracket is designed to fit these parts perfectly, which it does. The official mercedes gloves and other small parts will also fit within this bracket (for example, you'll also want the small metal pipe that aids placement of the wheel because the car uses lug bolts instead of lug nuts). The bracket then snaps into the shell, meanwhile leaving enough room within the shell for jumper cables and other goodies.

you could also take one from one of the loaner cars, i neglected to check the spare tire and jack set when i bought my CPO but then the car was in the shop the next week and i had a similar model so when i was at home i stripped the trunk of the spare and all the parts...they had it coming if that's how they sell CPO's...

Stealing is stealing, however you try to justify it. If a spare in your CPO car was really so important, maybe your should have checked to confirm the presence of same before signing on the dotted line.

I took my car to another dealer they said it was clearly covered and fixed the repair for Zero cost. So did MB of SD steal 100 bucks from me? Yes, I think so.
