KN air filter part no ... for C32 ?

I bought 2x 33-2256 and asked my dealer to put them in when I sent the car in for service.

They came back with "The filter is too wide to fit" - I'm positive this is the proper part no. Even the KN installation sheet shows a C32 engine.

Can anyone verify?

02 C32 AMG sold!
I purchased (4) filters and installed (2) of them by myself. You possibly
could've gotten the right box, but the packager from K&N could've put the
wrong filter of the box.

I measured the (2) new filters thats still sealed and tis 12" x 4 3/4" x 1 1/18"

And yes these filters are the same as the ones installed in my C32 hope this
helped ya.

That's the right one man - either K&N screwed up and boxed another item or your dealer is full of fecal matter. I put part # 2256 in myself before I switched to greens.
Don't get the dealer to do it for you - just use a torx bit (if you want ot do it yourself, the bit size is on this forum somewhere) - it will only take you 5 minutes. Just pull off the engine cover and torx the air box covers off.
