Doesn't the top of the filter cover have a simple square or hex nut on it? Why would you need a special tool to turn this type arrangement? Wouldn't a simple adjustable wrench do it?

Previous models did have a (large) hex nut molded into the cap. Now (n my 128i at least) the entire cap is essentially the hex nut.
Annoyingly the BMW special tool doesn't fit directly onto a 3/8" extension, it has a large size hex nut on the top. I had to buy both the tool and a large socket to fit it.
