I still would like an accurate list of the problems before the fuse was replaced (which warning lights were coming on, which gauges didn't work, etc), then what was still not working after you replaced the blown fuse in the BM, and is it now back to how it was before the fuse was replaced, or is it now somewhat different than before?
The problem with an improper jumpstart or connecting the battery incorrectly is that it can damage electrical components. I am especially suspicious that your insrument clustrer may have been damaged, but it is too early to tell yet.
The fuse blowing in the BM may have saved some components for damage, but in the time it took for the fuse to blow, some damage may have occurred.
I have seen very expensive damage done to Mercedes (including a car very much like yours) by jumping improperly. It seems to depend on which components may have been operating when the charging was done, for example because the drivers door was opened, it ruined the overhead interior lamp, which contains a control module. On that particular car, it also had a blown fuse in the BM, but I replaced it and it fixed about 75% of the problems (warning lights and inoperative speedometer and other gauges).

PS did you put the proper rated fuse back in to the BM? I think they are all red 10 amp fuses if memory serves.......
