Your best bet to put a roof rack on your E55 would be to go out and buy an E320 or E350.

Just use the ski/board pass through, works great and very secure.
It is best to get the trunk liner for the melt from board & boots.

Max, some do, some don't, I have seen it added. And some W211 the entire seat back folds forward for some massive space for large objects.

OK, up on the roof then, I am sure you have seen the 4 little doors on the roof of your W211, those are the hard point mounts for the Mercedes Benz roof carriers (case, skis, boards, bikes). very secure.
Here is a link to the MB acc catalog.
