Many times, the toolkit in your e30 may be incomplete, and if it is complete, you may not know what each tool does or where it should go. This thread should help with that.
Almost every e30 you will see, is equipped with a small toolkit. Complete, it should look like this:
Here is what each part is called and what each part does:
1. Emergency Window Crank - Used with part #10 and #6. This Part is not used on e30's. The e28 shared the same toolkit as the e30. Some e28 toolkits were small just like the e30, and to save in production costs, the same tool tray was developed. So there are holes for parts #1 and #10, however these tools are not used on an e30. They should be used on an e28 to manually crank the windows up in an emergency. The rig together like this:
2. Open-Ended Spanner Wrench, size 17-19 (If you don't know what a wrench does, you might be retarded)
3. Open-Ended Spanner Wrench, size 12-13 (If you don't know what a wrench does, you might be retarded)
4. Open-Ended Spanner Wrench, size 8-10 (If you don't know what a wrench does, you might be retarded)
5. Water Pump Pliers - These are used for the typical plier use, or of use on your water pump
6. Screwdriver - This screwdriver is reversible and features phillips and flathead on each end
7. Emergency Window/Sunroof Crank - This tool was, unlike parts #1 and #10, made for the e30. In case of emergency and your electric windows fail to crank up, you can use this tool. Most e30's with electric windows will have a little black circle in the middle of their door panel. Pop open the circle and there will be a little hole in the middle of a motor in which this tool may be used to crank. Also, for those with electric sunroofs, pop open the little black square up by the sunroof button and you will see a little hole in which this tool may be used to crank up or down in an emergency.
8. Pin - refer to part #9 description. Also used to guide your wheel into the lug hole.
9. Spark Plug Wrench - This tool is used to remove your spark plugs. However, with no leverage, it makes for a useless tool alone to remove your spark plugs. Working with part #8, the spark plug wrench now has leverage to remove the spark plugs. See assembly pictures:
10. Emergency Window Rod - Refer to part #1 description
