I found a filter housing and thermostat for 80 TOGETHER! So I hope I didn't jump the gun and buy a non compatible.

There are all different part numbers, but it's the same physical housing. I got mine off an N54 E90 and had no issues. Not sure the technical differences between models or revision numbers though.
Maybe different oil thermostats? Different oil temp sensors? The hardware is plug and play though, so no worries there...
