E24 guys: Big toolkit help needed

[CorvallisBMW]

I recently got a hold of a SUPER nice condition e24 toolkit from a 635csi (Thanks Funkmasta). It appears to be missing 1 or 2 things, but I can't seem to identify what they are from RealOEM. Can anyone help me out? I've circled the 2 empty spots on the left:

I need to find one of those trays. I have the tools except the green screwdriver...

ru srs?? Toolkit PLUS Blue BMW rag? OMG rare!


I don't know about the lower circle, but the upper circle should have the tool to manually raise your power windows, iirc...

That's what I was thinking the little rachet attachment type thing with a 6 or 7 point star (IIRC.) That's a seriously nice piece though, it's in mint shape and has the rag (also in great shape.) The green Heyco tools are very rare as well, second to the incredibly desirable red handle tools. E24/E28 guys sell body parts for those things.

That said though, your toolkit looks a good bit different than the one on ETK.

Their pictures are usually a fairly close representation of the real thing. You must have got a seriously rare piece.

The smaller Slot is for the this , if the Toolkit was mounted in an e23. It is for opening the power windows if electricity fails

Lots of people put their opener for the anti theft wheelscrews in there

Ah okay, I'm thinking of another piece, I forgot exactly what it's for but I have seen it on a few E28's.

The upper circle is for the windo ratchet. TD the tray you depicted is from an e28 (it is the tray in my e30). I do not know what the triangle space is in the op.

This is from an '88 635csi BTW...if that helps determine what tools it came with. The grey screwdriver is from the e30, I know it's not the correct piece. I can't find out what part# goes there either. If I can find the part #s I'm pretty sure I can get a hold of the tools to complete the kit.

This pic is an E28 kit, so the layout is different (I don't have a pic of my 6-er kit), but you can see on the right side (to the right of the angles hex key) the plastic part that fits in the smaller circle on your pic. The larger circled slot is not for any specific part.

The slot where the grey-handled screwdriver is is for the green-handled (or red) equivalent. The newer small green handled screwdriver is still available, but the handle shape is different and it doesn't fit as well in the box.

Your kits looks pretty well complete, except I think the original towing eye would have been the same chrome as the rest, and I think you have the newer version of the green screwdriver, which is slightly shorter, and has a slightly different handle than the original. The condition is outstanding though. You almost always see at least the pliers with rust.

Red-handled tools, that is ill. Is that your tool kit?

So, the green-handled Heyco tools aren't that rare? I have heard that most cars came with the grey-handled tools and then a few came with the green-handled tools, and the red-handled tool are super rare.

Nice. I had no idea you could use the larger tool kit in E30's. Is that tool kit from an E28 or something? It looks very complete.

It is, all you need is the foam and the two screws from the bottom of your stock box. It bolts right up;)
