I have the Jessie brand wrench. Works great.

+1 for the Max BMW wrench. They will sell you the BMW OEM oil wrench (at the typical BMW OEM price). But they also sell their own branded wrench for a fraction the cost. Still a bit pricey for a %$#^ oil filter wrench, but it works great and it's better than 'full price'.

There are a number of different size filters. My BMW filter wrench would not fit my Triumph's oil filter. I bought a proper size at the Honda store.

Why yes, the R1200 filter is a completely different filter than the previous filters and the design for removal is completely changed, too.

If the filter is the same as that for the R1200GS, K&N offers one (KN-164) with a 17mm nut as part of the filter housing.
