Yes, it is the wrong filter. Apart from any filter quality issues, their catalogue shows this filter for earlier 2.5 and 3.0 engines, in the E34/E36/E39. This one is only one digit out from the filter that they show for the 3.0 in the X5, a WR2592P.

Not a bad idea to do a second oil and filter change, IMO.
