This saga was nearly as long as "Gone with the wind". Please don't let there be a sequel, put a smear of oil on it and do not overtighten it.  :nono
Hallelujiah regards Martin.

For the love of all that's holy, finger tight and only another 1/4 turn.  Another thread like this one will melt my brain.

This brings up an a fantastic way to increase membership to MOTOBRICK.com.  When you're ready to sell torque the crap out of the oil filter with a dry gasket.  Then when the new owner gets hopelessly frustrated he will search us out and be charmed by our whimsical and sage advice.

Is it only the K bike that has this issue with a oil filter in blind hole or do other models of Bmw have similar set up?

Episode 2 Brick Wars the Forum Strikes Back.

Obi Wan "Luke for Gawdsake do you ever listen, do not never ever use the FORCE on a Brick oil filter. Otherwise you will pass over to the Dark Side and end up buying a Harley"

I am working on a tool design/modification for removal of oil filters in blind holes like the Kbikes.  I made/modified one already as a prototype and it works like a charm.  Took out the stuck filter I had in my Bike in 10 seconds.  (See my prior thread on the dilemma I had with a stuck oil filter in my K100).  No hole drilling. no pounding screwdrivers thru oil filter no dropping the oil pan.  Just wanted to see what the market would be for such a tool.

I've already got one just get the correct tool for the filters you use, and stick to it. You will only have trouble if you try and use the wrong tool on the wrong filter.
