Yes, the Curt Class-I hitch # C11701 will fit your 2004 Mercedes Benz E-Class Sedan and you will need to make slight modifications such as drilling.
This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 250 pounds and will have a Class-I rating. I would certainly double-check your owners manual to ensure you don't exceed your Mercedes weight capacities and only you Class-I accessories with this hitch. With the Curt trailer hitch, if you plan on adding any non trailer loads, it's required to use a stabilizing strap like # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. I added a short video about the stabilization strap for you.
I included a couple informative articles for you to check out too.
