Mann+Hummel and Bosch bought Purolator 50/50 in 2006, but Mann+Hummel bought out Bosch in 2012 and now owns 100% of Purolator. Mann+Hummel owns 100% of Affinia as of 2016 as well.
 
RooflessVW thank you for the update information.

What were the first years that Bosch labeled filters started looking like Purolator filters inside?

That equals to Mann+Hummel owns Wix (Affinia owned Wix).

And Tata owns Jaguar. Do a cut and judge for yourself or take at look at the ones already done.

Let's put it this way. Bosch filters for North American and Japanese applications are Puros; I believe there were close to a P1 clone. The Bosch filters for a German application are an entirely different animal, much closer to what you'd see from Mann for a German application, too.
 
There are a couple more Bosch filters in 53' Stude's mailbox that I'm sure he will cut when he's DGAR

He's cut a couple recently, and one had a slight sharkbite on the ADBV and the other one looked great. Personally I don't see the issue of a slight slice especially when the filter mount is open-end-up, but hey, to each his own. It IS a manufacturing defect that has not been addressed well, but the rest of the filter has seemed pretty good.

It's your money; if you have any concerns about the quality, buy a different brand. Most times it's the only way a company will change: when the dollars stop coming in and the complaints go up.
