Next time tighten by hand then you can get it off by hand without need of any tools. You don't need them on there any tighter than that anyways.

I've had issues with oil filters before but these seem pale in comparion to what you're going through...when all else fails...just stab it.

Don't forget "lefty loosey"

I think I've maybe only had to do that once in my life as a last resort.

Stuff that seals fluid in always gets a little tighter after the engine/fluid gets hot...

True but sounds like a condom commercial.

I'm probably just weird, but I use a torque wrench to tighten my filter. It's out of the box anyway for the drain plug.

I use K&N filters. Easy on, easy off.

On my cars or truck, I've never had a problem with filters being "stuck" that I've put on, but I have had stuck filters when I've been traveling and have taken the vehicle into a service center. Hand tight until 'contact' is made, then 1/2 to 3/4 turn more has always been sufficent to date for me...

The K75 does get its filter removed/replaced with a 'filter socket' (i.e. the specific BMW tool for the purpose) because of the access issues - you really can't get your hand in to tighten the filter properly. Yes, the filter is INSIDE the oil pan, and NO the specific bike shown is NOT mine.
