Mahle is the OEM filter, yes.

Mann and Hengst are the other two big OEM suppliers in Europe. Use whichever of those is the cheapest, there's no significant difference from what I can see in the photos.

Mahle cost about $18 a filer but Mann is only $6, i heard alot of good things about Mann filters but wanted to double check.

Dealer put in MANN in my car, so now that I did my own change I used MANN. It's also listed as the OEM filter. I don't think you can go wrong with either filter though. Both seem to be good quality. Also, the MANN filter is definitely not 6 bucks. Best price I found is around $16 bucks.
