lets all be honest who keeps the following when they sell on there bmw

tool kit
torch.
wheel chock
first aid kit
tow eye

lets face it there only fit to use in an emergency.
and no use any other time.

im on my eleventh bmw.i owned 1 e3,1 e21, 2 e34,3 e30,4 e28 bmw's
in my 18 years of motoring.
and only one has had a complete tool kit and a torch.an e34.

Completely different experience to you! I've bought about a dozen E30s in the last two years and most of them have had their toolkits more or less intact. All the towing eyes have been there, about half of the first aid kits, and I'm actually in profit on the number of torches - some have had two. One where it should, and another behind the centre console

I thought the one behind the dash was standard

3 of mine have had one here

Mine has...

Original Torch (doesn't work mind)
Full tool kit
First aid Kit (still in original plastic)
Original Triangle
Tow eye
Original Fire extinguisher

Do you keep them? if so why? whats the point?

As far as I am concerned they are part of the car, what next? swapping the BBS for steels and removing light bulbs

Almost the same, I had to buy a fire extinguisher as mine didnt come with one originally

mine had half of it missing!
but it did have the fire extinguiser!

cant be arsed to replace it!

the point is how meny of us sell a car on with bits missing.
knowing the missing bits are tucked away some where.

if anyone were to be honest and admit they kept an item aside.
just curious why. prob to sell on ebay.
as i said the tools are only fit to use in an emergeny ie break down.
and surely not kept to use.
and it just another topic of conversation.

question. where was the fire extingusher kept on the e30.

Most users on here are enthusiasts, and when selling an E30 see it as a bonus to sell the car with all the nice bits still fitted, so I would probably say in answer to your question, not a lot of people sell the cars on with the bits missing.

Fire extinguisher was mounted to the underside/front of the drivers seat.

I have some parts for sale for one...

maybe people are keeping them in fear the one they are buying to replace the old one doesn't have them......

kind of a ripple effect......lol

i dropped the glovebox down and found a spandau ballet cd and a extra torch in mine it was nice to have a spare torch cant say they same about a spandau ballet cd ........i wonder if it was a real 80s copy or were we all still using tapes then

Nah - had CD's from about '83/4.

got my torch and tool kit
made a feature of mine those of you that know me
had jack and tool kit rechromed and layed out in white
leather got to be different.
and i,m only the third owner with full history
which ive kept up
even with the mods
