The part number for the filter is: 210 830 08 18. This is an extremely impressive part. It is very substantial in feel and the quality is definitely there. It weighs a couple of pounds. Dealer list price is $22.

On the contrary, I recently replaced the filter in my son's C320W4 (W203), which is located in a unit on top of the battery under the hood, and that filter looks like it costs about $5. All soft paper. Very little substance to it.

In the EPC, it is called an activated carbon filter as opposed to the S-Class which is described as an active charcoal filter. I'll have to check on the difference. The E-Class uses the same part number. The S-Class has a different part number.
