Plastic... the redesigned it because of loss of oil pressure upon startup. That insert keeps oil in the filter rather than to let them drain out. I still have one metal filter that I bought by mistake... u want it?

They are interchangeable?

no. the metal ones WILL NOT fit in the oil filter container designed for plastic filters.

So when did this all take place? What should I expect to find in our new 95 525iT? I was planning on dumping the oil this weekend & have a Napa filter with metal ends. Should I wait until the filters I ordered from BMA arrive & just return this one?
