Anybody ever tried these? I know nothing about them other than they came up
on a Google search..

If they work, they're a hell of as lot cheaper than $29...
(but you don't get to choose the color)..

Even for the original purpose, how can you predict which way it will be pointing when the thread finally tightens down on the original stem?

Hmmmm.... I think I may have misinterpreted their use. 
But I also found this which is supposed to be screwed on to fill tires, but then removed again.

Buncha guys on a another forum were groaning about the same issue and this
is what one of them said he uses.
UPDATE....
In stock at the BMW dealer.

I use a bike pump to add air to my tires. Works great on stock length valve stems. couple pumps, air back up to spec from being a few psi low. I do use a expensive pump and not a cheap walmart one though.

The stock valve stems are a set length so that they don't hit the rear brake caliper housing when the wheel rotates, anything added to that extends that length I would be very careful about. I bought some valve stem extensions for car tires and screw it on to check air pressure or adjust pressure with a foot pump, usually only 4 psi for two up riding.

You can also make your own using the tubing from a bicycle pump. Cut the tubing on the end that normally attaches to the pump and replace it with an old schraeder valve from the tire shop secured with a hose clamp. make it what ever length you want. carry it in your bag or pocket.
