Congrats on the new motor.
I have the same engine in the E class - very smooth and not as uneconomical as many think (I have seen 37mpg on the computer). I am on my 3rd set of plug leads as they tend to last about 3 years or so in my opinion before you start getting a lumpy idle (it should idle as if it isn't running) but aside from that I've had no problems and she's still as smooth and silent as the day I bought her (crying shame really as I've just traded her in). Perhaps a bit gutless below 3000rpm or so but very lively above and makes a wonderful noise! Enjoy.
Daft question perhaps, but does it have sat nav? (most don't). If it did, I would expect it to have come with a CD.
The cheapest place for a replacement is you are certain that's all you're missing is ebay. If you post details of the stereo unit someone can advise what you need.
cheers,
JB

Daft question then! We get the oddest questions on here so you never know.
Ebay will be your cheapest source by far.
