They did! It just took them until the W163 to get it right. Changing the cabin filter in my '01 ML430 takes less than 30 seconds. The only 'oops' is that when you pop the *bottom* filter door (not one of their more brilliant designs), a bunch of leaves, deceased bugs and other assorted flora and fauna falls onto the passenger floorboard! It would be interesting to hear what the MB dealership charges for labor to change a W163 cabin filter.

Cheers,
Jeff
