Hi, just tried to attach some magnets to the boot of my W212 E-Class (2012) and it seems that the area around the rear number plate AND the area above the chrome and on top of the boot lid are NOT metallic.

Has it been in a smash and replaced with interior body parts?
Where these parts made of something other than steel to aid weight saving?
 
Aluminium.
Plastic.
Cataloy (body filler).
I'd guess aluminium (maybe plastic). Poke about with your magnets on the reverse side if you suspect body filler.
