116ED Recommended Air Filter

Hi everyone,

My air filter is dirty and it's becoming black in some parts, I think I need to change it. Any recommendations?

Hi,

Do change. If you don't trust your dealer you can pick up the part number here. Or, may be, search for this one. Mind your car specification every time. Or vacuum-clean yours.

Thank you! So Mann Filter should be the best way to go?
This is the filter, after a vacuum of bees and tons of garbage:

I choose the OEM one. I don't know if Mann is any cheaper or better. It could be "effectively" the same in a different packaging (you know those discussions if OEM are really "special") - I don't know that either. The OEM looks just the safest bet if you can afford it.
