    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?

      Honestly, I think most of the tools are junk. 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.

        The most I've ever had in one of my kits was a pliers.

            I will use the adjustable pliers on the battery terminals in a pinch, the screwdriver for hose clamps in the engine bay/unscrewing the fusebox cover and the 8mm for a quick bleed of the cooling system.

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

            Im just missing the sunroof in mine.

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

                  I keep my hand tools in my trunk at all times, 9 times out of 10 when I need them its for something car related. I did use the spark plug wrench in the trunk tool set. Worked quite nicely haha.

                    Wow, the e39's have a much nicer toolkit than the later ones.  Mine was half empty (came that way from the factory) and I've filled in all of the empty spaces, it's still not as complete as yours.

                      I used the spark plug socket on the 540i cause I couldn't find my real one... 

                      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.
