your OBD port is in front of the red hood latch near your left leg when sitting in the drivers seat. there is a little cover that you flip open.
It's tricky to find a good cheap scanner that isn't just a generic scanner. one of the best known scanners is the Icarsoft MB2, but it claims to not work on W208 cars. mainly because W208 cars extensively use CAN for communication. If you have $500 to spend, go with a chinese knockoff of Star SDS/Xentry. people are having good luck with the SDS with C4 Mux, but it's a little pricey as far as scanners go, and they only work on MB cars!
I personally have SDS with the C3 mux and it works on MOST of the car!
