2007 E350 air filters.
I did a search but didnt find anything on the 07-09 models.
A video on youtube showed the filters to be in this plastic black box in the upper left and right hand corners of the engine:
So why did Advanced auto parts sell me this filter, which is obviously much smaller than whatever's underneath that cover...

Well, first I pushed the metal clip off the rear. Then I just yanked on both covers like a raped ape until they popped off.
The two air flow tubes and a third tube in the middle (not sure what it does) just kinda came undone on their own, but it would have been just as easy to disconnect them beforehand.
Now my car is an 07 with 23k miles. As you can see, these filters are pretty bad. The replacement Purolators have fewer folds which means that they will trap less dirt but I change air filters once a year so Im not worried about it.

Hey, I have an 08 W211 E350 and I'm about to change the air filter myself. So, you just pull the plastic cover off? the small plastic piece in front just pop out easy, but the rear is a little hard to pull out, i'm afraid I might brake something if I just yank it out like you did.
Oh, by the way how much did you pay for your engine air filter?

the rear clip at the rear of the cover can be popped off w/ a screwdriver. When reinstalling the engine cover, clean out the rubber grommets and spray some rubber conditioner on it. If you dont have that, then use a mix of CARWASH soap and water. DOnt use DISH soap.
i paid $20.70 for the pair of airfilters. Hengst or Mann , cant recall.
to the OP, at 5yrs old you prob need to replace the in cabin filter. I paid about $20 for a carbon filter.
