M157 air filters

What brand filters are you guys using for M157?

I have used K&N on my previous M156 but wondering what else is out there that you would recommend?

I did a search on their website and it comes up just fine. I know their description doesn't say E class but the filter is designed for the 5.5L bi-turbo. If you have any questions regarding fitment, you can contact them directly.

Also, consider the Pro Dry S so you don't have to worry about over oiling the filters.

Then K&N are the only ones I know available.

Honestly, I'd just delete the charcoal filter if you haven't done so already and stick with the paper filters as they do the job just fine.

BMC also has them. I've had them in my CLS for the past year.
