what tools are missing from my trunck tool kit

Seems like there are two tools missing from the trunk tool kit, can someone tell me what they are suppose to be ?
Thanks

well now you know

You only miss a Towing Hook I think (get it on ebay etc.).

I put some extra tools in the empty space myself.

I've never seen a car with all the slots filled. The biggest empty slot is for the safety triangle. I used to keep tools in there too, for about a week, but it resulted in a lot of noise for some reason.

guess im lucky then i have all the tools even a first aid kit never opend

I had a friend whos dad had a BMW over in London and he gave me the warning triangle that fits inside the tool kit.

it really fills in the gap in the tool kit. Look on Ebay if your looking for one also

I tried to find a head-on picture of the trunk tool kit & underseat first aid kit.

After 15 pages of searches, this is the best I could find:

- E36 factory tool kit
- 3-series tool kit pics (and descriptions) (more pics)

Apart from the tow eye, you are also missing the guide pin for putting the wheels on...

.

For some reason, different cars come with different tool kits.
My MY2010 528i, came with only the tow hook and a screwdriver. I spoke with the salesperson, and I got a complimentary first aid kit.

Whoa! Guide pin? That's a new one to me. I have that part and always wondered what it was for. No wonder it always seemed a little bit tougher to put my wheels on.

The towing hook is under the trunk compartment floor on Touring models.

That seems to be an item in demand. The E34 has one, but with both of the E39's, the pin was missing

Yes, I admit I have a problem.

Lookes like i'm missing the spark plug wrech, pin, polishing cloth, socket wrench and the ring cover.

Mine is still not there. However I doubt the PO has used the missing spark plug wrench for example.

Iam trying to get pics to download. untill then here is what i have that you dont. On the left of your pic between channel locks your wheel alignment tool is missing.Used in tire changes. just forward of your fingers the tow hook adapter is missing. behind that your missing a long 16 mm socket. Just to the right of that beside open end wrench you are missing a short 10mm socket. I dont have the warning triangle.I just bought car saturday and not sure if anything else is missing. all my other slots are filled. Iam a jet mech. by trade.Ill fix your aircraft just dont ask me to fix computer or send an email lol. 55yrs old and computers came late for me.

well i guess i dont have all the tools. missing cloth warning triangle an ring cover.

For cross reference, this was posted today regarding the towing hook in the trunk tool kit:

I found a BMW place very close to me with good prices, but was unclear whether it is a walk in store, or Just by mail. Again, people who write stuff are not clear with what they write, and leave me with questions. If They are walk in I will just drive there. 10 minutes.

I found at least 2 tools missing out of my tool kit, the tow
hook and channel locks. I want to make sure I also have the proper (preferably OEM) tow hook.

UPDATE: I just snapped a picture of the tools in my toolkit:

QUESTION:
BTW, what is the long S-shaped allen wrench/screwdriver thingy for anyway?
I mean, in what emergency would THAT thing be instrumental to resolve?


It doesn't even seem to show up in the Realoem for American vehicles:
