It is often worth checking on the actual differences in filters that have the same dimensions but different part numbers. The part could have simply been changed up, due to a product update. However, it could also be that the different part numbers have different filter media, with different micron ratings (the size of particle that can pass through the filter media). I don't know that this is the difference on these two BMW filters, but it does happen on other filter brands I work with.
I would ask the dealer to confirm the difference between the two filters, to ensure that one is a direct replacement for the other.
