Gold Plated Filter Wrenches for new Hexheads

[David]

Well, here's BMWs wonderful $69 hunk of aluminum otherwise known as an oil filter wrench for the hexhead line. And yes, other people have already started knockin' em off!

$55 at chi-bmw. Such a deal.

So, it's 45% less than one that would be made by Snap-On. Congrats on the awesome deal!

Boy, they really went to great lengths to come up with original fluting. But I am sure that the fluting really contributes to the filter's ability to remove stuff from the oil (Not).

Reminds me of a friend of mine that had an '60s Ferrari years ago. It had two oil filters, right and left. One was a PH8 ford type filter, the other was identical except for the LEFT HAND THREAD.... ...$35 from Italy in the late '70s.

Where might that be?

I can't remember for sure, but I've seen at least two manufacturers on either AdvRider or UKGser.

Actually, don't know who posted first...but found this here.

Yeah, but it looks like a nice piece of machining ..

Made my own wrench out of a scrap piece of aluminium and 4 3/16 dowel pins. Cost - next to nothing. Works like a charm !
