I went to my dealer recently because my E420 developed a miss and i couldn't find my OBDII reader. He charged me $100 to diagnose the problem and told me that I needed a new battery and a set of plugs.

How much was a battery? $260
How much was a set of plugs? $270

I thanked him and bought a new battery from O Reilly's for $79 and an OBDII reader. After a little bit of diagnostics, I found that the I needed 1 coil pack to solve my problem.

FYI this is the dealer in Plano and not the nice people down town who give us discounts.
