This ran for approximately 250 hours on my Mercedes. Slightly wavy near the seam.

The o-rings were still flexible.

I just ordered these through my local supplier as well, and I cant see any difference at all when compared to a Mann side by side. I honestly think Bosch is just rebranding Mann.

String that's attached to the pleats.

The string is a good idea, as it prevents any pleats from bending over and tearing from oil flow delta-p.

It looks like one of the Mann-made fleece filters Mercedes uses in their older engines.
