Best Spark Plugs for W208 CLK55 ?
I am about to do the plugs and wires. I have a line on the wires, but there are 2 or 3 spark plug variants available from Bosch. Which is the best choice?

The best one is the one listed in your owners manual.

In all honesty, go with the stock ones. I replaced plugs 2 days ago because the plugs the customer had just installed were causing a slight misfire problem-and they were bosch platnum dual fire crap, which im sure weren't cheap.
