If no luck Autohaus has them for face lifted models (maybe others too) for around 340 delivered give or take with heat and day/night auto dim feature. It is the MB OES (Supplier) piece with the MB PN scratched out in the back but is identical to OEM. I bot one and it works perfectly. About 30secs to install. Snap out snap in new.

One option
I do not know how mechanically capable you are ,or if you would opt to do what I did?
When I bought my 1999 W210 the driver side mirror had a strange double image quality to it. It was so bad that I could not look thru it. I looked for a simple replacement glass to instal , but I could find nothing. I went to a window/glass guy I knew and he told me that that mirror was made up of two peices of glass with a liquid in between them. So I took the rubber trim off the mirror, removed the outer layer of glass. Thats when I saw the purple color liquid. I cleaned it all off of the mirrored glass and bonded back on the rubber trim.
Since then, no problem.
I do know that I lost whatever option the double glass/liquid formed, but it cost me nothing to do what I did. Now I can look thru my side mirror, no matter what was lost, + It cost me nothing to fix it.
