Yes you can, call your local Mercedes dealers for quotes, some of them try and sell you an after market warranty but make sure you buy a Starmark warranty also different dealers give you different quotes so shop around. I think it may be possible to buy a Starmark from a dealer that isn't local too as it does not matter which dealer you buy your warranty from it can beserviced at any MB dealer. I think I paid around 2200 for a 3 yr 100K warranty.

Arrow Buy Starmark

Yes you are able to. At any time during the original 4-year, 50,000 mile factory warranty, you can extend it for (I think) up to 3 more years and up to 100,000 miles. The only kicker is, that the further you are into your original warranty, the more expensive it is - in other words, it is pro-rated.

I am referring to a Starmark, as sbarsap was. I would also not advise buying any after-market warranty, as the MB one seems to provide us with excellent coverage "insurance". The finance guy told me when I bought mine on a CPO, that the extended warranty is actually better than the 4yr/50,000 that comes with a new car purchase.
