Award for filthiest W210 cabin filters?
Doesn't appear as if the PO had much of a filter changing regimen.
 78k miles on the car....I'm assuming these are original.

I don't have photos, and I no longer have the W210, but I really have to claim this prize. I once had a nest of field mice that spent half the winter on my cabin air filter. I tore the whole car apart, looking for the source of the odor, and when I found it, well...

That's pretty bad. Mine weren't filled with all those large debris pieces @ 100K - just the dust. Might be the difference between a car always garaged-kept, versus an out-of-doors car.

Not the worse I have seen believe me!
'98 with Brilliant Silver paint/Blue leather? Very rare color combo I must add. I have to ask, how cracked is your dash on your Blue interior if at all? I was curious if it is as bad as the previous genre W124s with Blue dashboards.

The interior is essentially perfect. The only imperfection on the dash is a one inch crack extending from the back of the passenger air bag toward the windshield. I wasn't sure about the color combo at first, but I've really grown to like it.

That's about what our Corolla looked after 120k. I remember doing a double-take when i got the new filter. "Whoa -- it's WHITE!"

mine were more filthy.
 They were genuine MB filters with the plastic edges and MB part no. About a handful of leaves, debris and other stuff also came out of the casing. The ones from my W124 were almost hazmat - they had seeds etc embedded in them all the way.
