Can you get you hands on a oscilloscope? Would really help your diagnosis.

the mating clyinder for your engine is 1 the fartherest coil controls clyinders 1+6, the middle coil controls 3+4 and the first coil controls 2+5. A coil that failed wont necessary trip a code for the other clyinder.

also checking the DIS switching unit amd the ignition cables for frays, cracks etc

This why having a advanced scan tool is a necessary tool for working on the newer benz's
