I replaced them when the odometer said 33K & now again at 68.5 K. Don't ask me why but I kept the originals...
& I have it & the one's I just took out in front of me. They are both Mann filters.....the original OEMs say
Mercedes Benz A 112 094 03 04 & in smaller letters say Mann Filter C 2861 Germany 070115
These originals & the 2nd set of Mann filters both have the bar across the middle...just like the picture of the Frams.

I compared the Fram with this, and other than the Fram is not marked Mercedes Benz ... the quality looks the same, and I just thought that i"IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK, QUACKS LIKE A DUCK, YA DA YA DA. I put the Frams in ...... and happy so far....
EDIT: anybody got a pic of a K & N filter?
Edit: I just went on K & N website, and the picture of their filter for our car, shows NO middle bar accross the body of it.
