Peachparts are a good source of parts, but I think buymbparts.biz is more comprehensive.

EPC-net Online
You want: EPC-net Online. This is the official MB electronic parts catalog system. It is free to use the the U.S., but you have to give it a credit card number (which they don't bill anything to) to sign up. I think this is to prevent abuse of the system. I think the system is also available outside the U.S., but there is a yearly fee.
Just type in your VIN and you can look up any part for your car as configured from the factory. You can also search by model/type/sub-type, etc.
The EPC is essential if you are into MB.

EPC is the only way to go...
You can get your data card which shows every option/ variant as your car was built.
Most importantly it identifies parts by your VIN and gives a drawing that identifies all parts in an assembly while along side it gives the corresponding part numbers or if no longer available the new part number.
Allows you to create and print your parts list along with printing the drawing.
MB Classic Center will give about wholesale pricing for 124 parts if you are a MBCA member.
Also MB of Napierville through Parts.Com offer pricing a few percent below the classic Center.

In addition to buymbparts, I sometimes cross-shop to parts.com and partsgeek.com.
I've found these to be the most consistently low for parts prices, but each place will offer X part for lower than the other, necessitating cross-shopping if you're after the best price.
