Also, if you ever take it in for major service, you might need to prove ownership of VIN coded parts. Say the engine computer needs reflashed, the dealer needs the donor cars VIN not the body VIN.
Find a dealer you have a solid relationship with if you need major service, in theory the dealer might be prohibited from working on a mixed VIN car. ( liability issues )

I have never taken a Mercedes-Benz to a dealer for service, and probably never will. However, I do need to think about these potential issues before taking on this project.
If the dash stays with the wagon, why would that be a problem?
As far as the airbag computer, would I have a problem putting the one from the gas E into the CDI, should I decide to fix it? Would the car reject the computer and/or airbags?
