In regards to the 2 oil filter part numbers, the Internet Parts Manager from Tischer BMW writes:

I don't think it changed, it's just that the part number for the filter itself is often different than the part number for the actual filter kit that BMW offers(typically includes the necessary o-rings/seals needed to change the oil in the given vehicle). I'm not sure about the diesel engines to be honest, can't say that I've ever opened the box to the filter kit - but most all of the other models' filter kits include o-rings/washers. That means that the part number is for the whole set of parts - filter, o-rings, gaskets, whatever. Basically, the part number I'm giving you is for the filter kit(from BMW) - and the part number you're giving me is for the filter alone by itself(which isn't available apart from the kit).

I'll order a kit soon.
