Minor update: the car came with a fairly depleted tool kit.

Ben Smith has kindly donated the tools from his now deceased 328i. It hasn’t filled all the gaps, but we’re a lot closer now, especially given the screwdriver from my old Vauxhall Vectra! I’ve also got a warning triangle, but it’s a big one from an E36 and so doesn’t fit in that tool tray, and is instead stored under the boot floor.

I’m still in limbo on a number of other things: finding TWS 10W60 is harder than I’d expected, I still don’t know what the DME fault code means, and I’m still tracking down some facelift lights. I hope to have news on at least one of these things soon!
