You asked for opinions.
My only guestion would be -- Why? It doesn't appear to filter any better than a stock Beemer filter and I have to wonder what your dealer would say if you had an oil related problem and he saw that hanging under your engine.
But as the ad said it does LOOK TRICK, if you really have a lot of people looking under your bike. :D :D

Yeah, risky asking for opinions..

I agree with Harry.. and any filter that has "bling" options

Makes me wonder how good it is..

I think the one quote on their website says it best:
" I just received my filter, and I was struck by how beautiful it is. Rarely do I see a functional product that is so aesthetically pleasing. I haven't installed it, and to be honest, I'm reluctant to. I want to be able to put this in my office and use it as a conversation piece. Nice work!"

I think putting it in your office is an excellent use for it.. :)

I tried to get to the site but can't. Obviously they have ruined someone's life through the destruction of their beloved motorcycle and that person has taken revenge and killed the owner or at least webmaster. Save your money for a high priced Carbon Fiber hugger.

I really want a Hugger, but I'm saving to buy a BMW oil filter. And I hate Don for picking one (Hugger)up cheap on E-bay
So many things to WANT so little money for toys.
