You dont want a ski rack on your trunk, because if you have skis in it you wont be able to access your trunk, if you want to carry a bike add a class 1 hitch and a bike carrier.
Years of carrying different racks brought the conclusions:
-trunk mounted racks scratch the paint and restrict access
-hitch-mounted racks wobble and require good attention to avoid damages, beside restricting trunk access
-only roof-mounted racks give good protection to the car and to the cargo, with only bad side - lifting the cargo.
W211 has designated roof rack bolts, so even that will not be cheap, but fully secured and convenient. Use it wisely.
