This is a BMW video about counterfeit filters, not legitimate aftermarket filters, but it does show what can happen. If you watch to the end there is a durability test where the filter dissolves.
BMW in the Middle East has issued a press release about increased number of counterfeit parts coming out of that region. https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/middl...tem=node__5236 If I had a filter dissolve on me, and I thought it had been changed not too long back, I would check the markings on it and suspect it was not OE quality. If it had all the OE markings, I would suspect it was counterfeit.

Wow it makes me think I definitely had one of those counterfeit filters on my car...or the original one since the car was brand new lol..it's shape would make sense too looking at it after 90k miles ..
On the other hand, I accidentally added like an eight of an inch over the max line on the dip stick.Is there any way I can take some oil out without getting under the car again? I usually put 1/8" below the max line but this time I was very generous..and in a hurry ..sometimes I can't even get a good readout of my oil level...that dang plastic at the end of the stick is weird.

If it is only .125" I wouldn't worry about it.
If the oil level is high enough over the full mark it will be whipped up by the crankshaft like an egg beater, and look foamy. Then it doesn't lubricate. Short of that, there isn't much risk.
