It is hard to rate a filter and even harder in the winter. Let me say this: the filter media seems identical to the original, but this Mann filter has a cardboard frame, just as is shown in the Amazon product photo. The original Mercedes filter has a plastic frame and a foam gasket. So does the picture in the enclosed Mann installation instructions. It is possible that the filter sold today by Mercedes at the dealership also has a paper frame. This is my reason for 4 stars instead of five. Time will tell if the cardboard flap seals on the Mann filter work well or not. In any case, I am pleased right now. I'll update this review if my opinion changes after pollen season this spring and summer.

Update: 5 stars
Pollen season has finally come and this filter has worked great. I use air conditioning all the time due to allergies and the air is always clean in my car. My dashboard is black and rarely needs to be cleaned. This filter has performed exactly as designed. Make sure you pay attention to the airflow arrow. It can go in right or wrong. As luck will have it, I initially put it in wrong, but corrected it, as I did not notice the arrow at first. I will order another at the end of the year. This filter is easy to ignore, but it absolutely necessary to replace periodically. My airflow improved dramatically after removing the previous filter. I will not let that happen again.
I recommend this without reservation to anyone requiring a cabin filter. My experience with Mann filters over the last 25 years is consistent. They are excellent in every application.
