My car is an e30 and it has what I think is the the M44 one? Anything to worry about here?

there was a changeover mid-year, some have plastic, some metal. Makes getting the right filter a bit of a pain, as they're slightly different. Take a look at realoem.com and you'll see. Is that what you're referring to?
