Are Wiper blades different on a 2000 w220 vs 01-06?

Yes. My '05 has OE MB blades that are Bosch Aero Twins, each 27-1/4 inches long. Aero Twins are sold commonly, but usually in lengths of 28" and 26" - you might want to try one of each as replacements (28" is too long for the passenger side, and the blade will rub at the top of the windscreen; it's fine on the driver side).
The non-MB Aero Twins come with a variety of adapters for the mount.
I don't know in exactly which model year the changeover was made. The MB-branded Aero Twins are now priced at $65 per pair through my dealer, and less at other online sources.
