I was about to order it from this posted link, but at the last second I decided to do a google search and found it for a little cheaper:
Genuine Bosch Cam Position Sensor 0232103037 Mercedes | eBay
~$65 shipped, so I saved about $20 from the original link. Seller seems legit, great rating and claims to be an authorized Bosch distributor. I will post an update when I get it installed maybe this weekend.
I just wish I had seen this thread before I bought it locally the first time around
