Is the 280SEL the only 108 that has a longer wheelbase than the 280S? So all 108 250's and 280's (with the exception of the SEL) have the same rockers?

I would not be shocked if these are not being produced, as there were almost 10x as many 123's and almost 10x as many 114/115's made than 108's.

I changed the main filter under 10,000 miles ago. For what it costs, I might just replace it again. I do not have the prefilter on my car at this time, so a leak in that wouldn't be an issue.
