K11 Oil Fill Plug

This plug has a recessed slot and no apparent tool in the kit to fit this. What do you guys use?
 
The oil fill plug is on the right side of the engine toward the back on what "looks like" a valve cover. I've never seen what you are talking about from the factory. Maybe you have an aftermarket one. Can you take a picture of what you have?

Here's a photo. I wonder if this was put on as a safety device to preclude someone from opening unless you have a special tool....IMG_0085.JPG. I checked Beemer Boneyard for a oil filler cap but no luck there.
