My local parts house gave me Mahle OC 49 filters from a local shop ($6 ea)
for my '91 200q 20v.  The label on the bottom lists the Mann W 719/15 as an
equivalent.  Interestingly, the fitments on the box are all BMW 6 cylinder
motors mostly available only in Europe (only US models listed were the 325
E30 and the 528e).
