Are the Mahle filters good quality? I don't know the name.
I found Wicke oil filters for $ 14.95 which is OK with me because I know they are fine filters.
Those prices sound like the paper element, if you're in the 98 or newer you should be running synthetic with the fleece element. I'd also recommend you buy a kit (rather than just the filter) so you can replace the o-rings with your filter.
Paper will work fine for your car, ProV, and Germanstar.net (one of our sponsors) sells the paper type kit for $6.95 at: http://www.germanstar.net/e320m2.htm. Guy's name is Ron, call him if you have any questions.
If you're in the older 210 (96-97) then you can use the paper element with or without synthetic oil, but you should be changing it more frequently as the filter will not last as long as the oil.
Don, fill out your profile when you have a chance!

Why do you recommend the syn for 98+ but not for newer?
