FWIW, two things:

(1) The "1" part number seems to overwhelmingly show up on foreign language sites, not English, and,

(2) The two filter cross reference tables to non OEM filters both showed the "1" and the "0" BMW OEM filter cross-referencing to a single non-OEM filter, i.e., these two filter manufacturers consider the BMW 11427788461 and BMW 11427788460 to be the same filter for replacement purposes.

That good to hear

BTW when you changed your oil was your original oil filter a 11427788461 or 11427788460?

Oddly enough, I didn't compare the part number to the old filter when I took it out, but just did a visual comparison. However I did check online to see if the part number was right, so I expect it was the "0" that realoem and bavauto show, as those are two places I checked for confirmation and if they had been different, I would have noticed. (bavauto.com shows 11 42 7 788 460)
