Oh boy MB got me also, when my old remote for my 98 E320 broke the dealer got me for $160. The new one looks great with all the chrome but it is bigger than my old remotes, that thing is huge in my pocket and wish it was a bit smaller. I think the price was not too bad as I was expecting to pay at least $300 a new unit, in the past they were much more costly...They did however cut the mechanical key and included it with the remote but that key refuses to open the door. If the dealer tells you they can't fit the mechanical key they are full of it as my dealer cut and fitted the key in my new chrome smart key.
