<![CDATA[Who uses their BMW trunk tool kit to work on small projects?]]>Last week when I had to replace my brake light switch, I used my trunk tools rather than drag my tool bag outside.  I frequenly just go out to my car when I can't find a screw driver around the house.  I even used a couple of my trunk tools to bleed my girlfriends brakes.

So who else out there uses their BMW trunk tools?

One of my favorite parts of working at Concours was every screw driver laying around was out of a BMW tool kit! Those things are handy.

I did use the spark plug wrench in the trunk tool set. Worked quite nicely haha.

The E30 tool kits didn't come with a spare sunroof, Snap.

I usually end up using them when im out and about and someone wants me to take a peek at their car.

They're good for the intended use during a roadside emergency but that's about it. The wrenches fit terribly. I'll stick to a proper set of tools and save my knuckles.
