    Toolkit questions

    Can someone tell me what is/isn't missing on this toolkit picture?
    1. Should something be in blue marked spaces?
    2. What about red marked tool on a right? I know it's sunroof escape, but what should it be used for? I have one smaller one under sunroof console cover.
    3. Where green thing is, I have small socket on top of this rod, not sure what all sockets needed to be there?
    4. Is there originally blue rag somewhere?
    5. Looking for excellent condition warning triangle if anyone got one

    There's a hex tool under the wrenches on left.

    Do you have a photo of the hex tool alone? Also what is that thing to the right side of the screwdriver? Some type of extension bar?

    Interesting, my 525 is missing whatever is in those 2 spots too. Every image search I have done shows no tools there for 525 as well. Are you sure that a 525 is supposed to have them?

    The red marked tool is part# 54127199322 A bigger sunroof/window emergency tool. I guess for when stuff breaks and it's raining bad or you want to lock your car up quicker.

    I haven't got any socket on that rod, I thought it was just a handle for the spark plug remover/socket?

    The hextool is only there when the car has a sunroof, for manual operation, see owners manual.

    Later cars with M50 & M60 engines having the plastic coverings got a small tubular steel 10mm socket, stored beneath the 12/13 wrench, for removing the covers. It has a hole at one end(like the spark plug socket) intended for use with a rod through it, ostensibly the screwdriver shaft.

    If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

    Going by realOEM I'm not missing anything even though there's empty spots where katit2 has them too. Would have been cool to have a 10mm tube socket wrench onboard to get access to the coils if needed to actually get to the sparkplugs LOL.
    E: that tip to use the sparkplug tube wrench handle as a bolt centering tool is awesome. Would have helped heaps a few months ago when I was struggling with wheel bolts and missing centering ring for my e39 wheels I'm kind of used to wrong wheel hubs and wheel bolts due to my mazda history though so I made out OK. It's still a great factory thought to supply a tool and I will use it next time! I would have never had known without this thread.

    Had a quick look and it seems e23 and 28 had the most onboard tools with ring and open spanners and another long tube socket wrench but they don't seem to be on newer models like e32/34. So maybe there is supposed to be empty spots on early e34? RealOEM shows nothing extra as shogun linked

    E2: while digging around my boot for my missing screwdriver handle I found my thermostat... Also a tow hook But yeah, a thermostat in the boot is not good news.
