I installed the magnet filter in my recently purchased S55 amg.
Lot of people said ABC is the potential bomb. So I researched and learned about this filter. Some said this would not be really help because installed at the return hose line. And others said good to have. So I decided to try as a secondary insurance.
Only my concern was decreasing pressure. I contacted few owners had installed this and got their good experiences. After installed, I ran quick test using my Xentry system. It showed pressure within normal range. Of course I flushed entire fluid (used 12 liters) and replaced filter too. Now I can see the color of the fluid without pulling out dipstick. Installation was one of the easiest and straight forward.
Now it is just day one. So, I am able to comment anything about performance yet. But I feel better on potential ABC issues.

I got mine from ebay seller in Germany.

I really like the concept of an inspection filter on the ABC. Don't know if I buy into the magnetic concept so much, but to be able to see the fluid condition at a glance would be nice. That price though! Lol.
For what it's worth, those worm clamps tend to loosen up/chew up the hose over time. They are probably fine on a low pressure hose though, but I would replace them with a stepless clamp of some sort. Usually sold at auto parts stores as "fuel line clamps" or better yet, get some oetiker stepless 1-ear clamps. Just like the factory clic clamps except one-time use/permanent install.
