I have a May 2012 (I think) 328i 12 plate (also a lux model)
I bought a couple of genuine filters from BMW and I'm pretty sure the housing is plastic
The part number on the filter is MANN HU816
Not sure if this helps though although it does show that the dealer part is just a generic Mann filter
The dealer part does contain a new plastic sump plug and a washer (plastic plug for plastic sump S Drive, washer for metal sump X drive) which a generic filter from ECP might not contain.
I paid I think 27 quid for the pair delivered from Cotswold
