Mercedes "didn't stick with old technology"....
The resistance is built into the spark plug wire connector.
Using a resistor plug with the correct wires increases the overall resistance and can decrease performance.
Electronics are sensitive to parameters outside of the design range.
Increased resistance can cause long term degradation of the ignition module.
