All E30s, if unmodified, should have a basic tool set located inside the trunk:
All tools were made by Heyco and stamped with the BMW logo. The kit included:
- 17/19mm wrench
- 12/13mm wrench
- 8/10mm wrench
- Pliers
- Allen key
- Screwdriver with a reversible blade (Phillips and flathead)
- Spark plug tool
- Plastic manual window crank (in case your window motor failed).
Some kits are also said to include washers.
Even though the stock small E30 toolkit mounts with two screws, the trunk is pre-provisioned to mount a 4 screw toolkit like those found in other chassis models.
** 2 additional mounting screws can be purchased under PN 07119904431 they are size “ST4,2X19”
E28/E23 large tool kit:
**note this was also an available toolkit available to E30’s in South Africa.
Another option is a tool kit from the E34,:
*Note that the Spark plug tool in the E34 kit is a smaller size than the one in the E30. To fit the E30 spark plug tool, simply apply a heat gun to mounting area and press down the E30 spark plug tool, the plastic will slightly shift to accommodate the slightly larger tool.
** Use the strap from your small E30 Toolkit as the strap from the E34 is too long, no modification to the strap is required.
The benefit of this tool kit is that there is a large area where you are able to fit whatever you want, in the below example, there are a pair of scissors and a worm clamp torque wrench added.
Lastly, full tool kits are still available from BMW:
