I think i will just go with the OEM mounts for the W208 like you did. I mean they should last at least another 60k miles.
Heres my 100k list. Im picking it off slowly...
Valve Cover Gasket (Left/Right) - Ordered
Service A - Waiting to do this until all of it has been done
Transmission flush + filter and plug change - Waiting on this until 95k miles
Differential fluis change - 95k miles
Brake Fluid Flush - Done
Cabin Filter - Ordered
Air Filters - Done
Collant System flush - 95k Miles
Thermostat - Ordered
Serp Belt - Done
Idler Pulley - Check Ok
Spark Plugs - Done
Cylinder 6 Wire - Ordered
Coil Pack 6 - Ordered
Fuel Filter - Done
Motor/Trans Mounts - Ordered
Exhaust Rubber Hangers - Check Ok
Crank/Camshaft Sensors - Check Ok
Power Steering Flush - 95k Miles
Diff side Seals - Stil need to be inspected
Drag Link - 100k Miles
Front Lower control Arm Bushing - Needs Replacement
Front wheel Bushing - Needs inspection
Am I missing anything else or does this cover most everthing???

Now that you've made up your mind, let me throw a wrench in 
Pancho just installed 209 mounts in his CLK430 - https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class...or-mounts.html

my mech installed the w209 mounts to see if it would help with my idling issues...i think it maybe stiffer but could just placebo effect...it fits perfectly fine..my mechanic was suprised actually that it was a direct fit...

The OE filter is 1402770095 and the gasket is 1402710080. The retail is $15 each ($11 discounted) and your local dealer may have them in stock. - they fit every 722.6 I know of. V12, 8, 6 supercharged, NA, dual turbos, 4Matic, RWD, everything.

Slowly but surely. Its not to expensive if you can figure out how to do the work yourself, and not #$%^ anything up in the process
All I really have left is the fluid flushes. Now I need to find someone in the area to do my Lower Control Arm Bushings for a decent price. Dealership wants $700.....
P.S. I went with W209 mounts afterall

Looks like I'm nearing the end of this 100k tune up. Been at it for a few months. 90% has been DIY and I have saved THOUSANDS. I'll update the list once I'm done. Wanted to show you guys a few pics of the mounts I yanked out today. 91k miles and they were LONG overdue to be changed. I slapped the W209 mounts in there. From start to finish it took about 2.5 hours. Wasn't hard at all, but I had help. Tomorrow is my Transmission Service. I only got a few more things and then I should be good to go.... Then the headers and secondary delete... and then ... supercharger...
Cheers!

If I was you I'd reconsider the K&N's. I have seen them cause MAF's to fail.
I did a V.2 intake conversion and gained about 10-15 horses.
I would get high flow secondary cats and a set of headers, keep the resonator! Thats about 20WHP. You'll notice a big difference if you do it all at once.
I would say with a V.2 intake and High flow secondaries + Headers would net you a solid 25WHP without a tune.
