Having just stripped 2 E320cdis, both otherwise clean cars with lots of warranty replacement panels, they both had massive holes behind the rear bumper.

I think it comes from the outside...there is a felt like material in the bumper shells...which holds wet mud very effectively against the body.
In this photo you can also see the remains of the forward bracket that the bumper used to slide into...it was attached to the body but is now part of the bumper!!
