Thanks for posting this Tiff!

The only challenge I've seen so far with it is there are parts I know fit my car (via the old EPC and well the part number stamped on the part) that this catalog says will not fit my car. It's usually parts related to rear A/C or other packages. This is with providing my VIN, so if you get a response like that (not for your vehicle), it's best to check with the dealer directly.

Absolutely agree. It is always best to check with dealer with VIN provided before ordering any (usually nonreturnable part)!

I thought it may be a good resource for people that do not have access to the EPC that requires a Daimler login.

Speaking of rear A/C, I certainly hope the rear A/C unit in my S600 does not begin leaking freon or coolant! That would not be a fun repair.

I used to never run the rear A/C because, well, there was never anyone back there. But the past few years, I have it synced with the front hoping it will lubricate the seals and keep them from deteriorating from non-use.

Totally agree with you. And over 30 years of owning Mercedes I can tell you what keeps these cars running is using them and all of their features. Good thought on the rear A/C! I run it here because it's toasty. ;)
Any do think the 1986 W124 300E I have has only traveled 45k! 😯
Doesn't have near the tech, so I hope it doesn't have problems waiting to happen. I have been hesitant about even trying the headlamp wipers!

A parts catalog have been posted by mbusa @ Official OEM Mercedes-Benz Parts Store | Mercedes-Benz USA Parts which can be useful to research part numbers, availability, or purchase at your local dealer. A good, free resource.
A good resource, however, I use this one instead. It is from an MB dealership in Scottsdale, AZ, and appears to be the same format. I did a comparison on parts prices and they are significantly cheaper and do not charge the MSRP prices. (See example snapshot below.) I have ordered parts from them in the past and have had no issues. See: Mercedes-Benz Parts - MB Parts Accessories & Lifestyle Collection | MB Parts Center
