@pete diegan did you proceed with changing the o2 sensor? How did it go after?

@pete diegan oh man... false alarms...
Mentioning that (might be helpful for others), I was having a terrible engine misfiring in my CL550 (C216), changed 2 or 4 ignition coils, set of spark plugs, o2 sensor, and lastly the issue turned to be in the ECU itself...

Do Not have your engine torn apart... I had the exact same issue. I was baffled just like you.
Then I changed my O2 sensors and haven't had a problem since.
Funny thing is, not one certified Mercedes mechanic could figure this out. Ended up buying a lot of parts I didn't need.
Good luck.

sometimes the error is real - the early cars did have an issue with parts that were substandard and wore heavily leading to camshaft timing issues - the main idler gear at the base of the v was made of chocolate and the teeth just vanished
