K&N for half of anywhere else!

decided to check out this new vendor i saw be advertised on here and was searching their products and came across their air filters. They are offereing the K&N air filters for the m271 for $29 rather than the $58 that I have seen everywhere else! Anyone think this is legit or should I expect some random air filter shipped to my door in the next week if I ordered lol...

as long as it's the E-2011 model then you should be good.

amazon used to sell it years ago for like $19-20 so $28 is pretty reasonable.

after 2 K&N's in the w203, I've gone back to stock. no difference and I have better piece of mind with the stock filter.
