So using the part number from the one that came out of the Car I found a real Mercedes tumbler for $50 but with only one key on eBay and I also bought that.

But, I installed the Meyle one (it fit fine) to see how long it will hold up.

The Meyle tumbler and the Mercedes tumbler appear to use the same keys except that the Mercedes one has the Mercedes star stamped on the metal. People say the plastic part on the Key fails.

The Meyle Lock Tumbler is made in the PRC.
