AdBlue hasn't been used in the 211 yet, at least in the US. The technology has been in development for a few years. I did a little research and it looks like MB will use the AdBlue system in the W212 when it's released here later this year.
To meet Bin 5 standards, it has to use AdBlue. The 2009 does not use AdBlue is only Bin 8 compliant, according to MBUSA.

BlueTEC clean diesel
The breakthrough powerplant in the E320 BlueTECŪ reduces soot and harmful emissions - without sacrificing power. An oxidation catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter efficiently lower hydrocarbon and particulate emissions, and Selective Catalytic Reduction and DeNOx catalytic converters reduce nitrogen oxides. The result is simply the cleanest production diesel engine available.

Mercedes-Benz met the Bin 8 standards using a four-step series of catalytic converters and filters that remove carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, particulate matter, and nitrous oxides. A fifth step, aimed at meeting the Bin 5 requirements, will involve injecting a magic potion called AdBlue into the system.
