As far as I know, the car should take platinum spark plugs. My C280's take the platinum plugs, but I do believe that you can settle for something less expensive like copper ones. The non-platinum plugs would have a trade off of being cheaper with less durability and perhaps less performance. I have some links for help with this:

CORRECTION, that is an SLK230 not CLK230
