240D wrong air filter?

So I am not sure if I have the right air filter in ther car. It was making a waffling sound and I notices that the air filter seemed like it was the wrong one, A little two tall and does not fit evenly on the ring/hub on th bottom. I got a new WIX from Oreilly and it too, is the exact same size. Is this the right air filter? Anyone else had this problem? Or the waffling sound? It could be exhaust but I did a cursory look and it seemed ok. Waffling only happens with the engine off idle.

You should be able to tell if it fits or not.

They are slow but with a stick are engaging to drive.

With an auto? forget it!

Well I dont have another to compare it to and as i said it doesnt sit on the hub right in the middle. The replacement filter I got was *exactly* the same (but more folds better quality).

Is it possible to swap a non turbo 300D filter into a 240D filter? Maybe that's what's causing the wrong fitment.
