21cm long. Deffo a BMW part. It goes in the toolkit inserted inside the spark plug spanner.

Radio Grub screw removal tool ?

these are not found on 318is' for some weird info, there is no slot in the boot tool box for them

End dimension or are you saying its about 3mm (like a radio grub screw)

3mm allen key end

i'm 99.9% sure it gos on the scewdriver handle and is used to ajust valves in the m20

But isnt the tool kit put together for 'roadside' repairs

think your 99.9% wrong-how would you adjust the inlet valves with that-and there holes not allen head on the eccentric adjusters.throttle stop adjustment i say-as further up the thread!or radio plugs as you said,because its not in all cars and bmw in that day didnt supply standard stereo ,they were all an option-i think.

Some BMW locking wheel studs have a cap secured by a 3mm hex bolt. Could be for that?

numbers on it?

is it 5 sided or 6 at end?


radio or antenna key,but will adjust the hex throotle stops.

This has been discussed before, but i can't find the topic. I think it has something to do with the convertible roofs....

What car did it come from?

I'm sure it was Ian Hamilton who came up with the answer last time

This adjustment is set at the factory and never needs to be changed, so why would BMW provide a tool in the "roadside repairs" toolkit for this?

Early type electric windows had a provision for manual overide. It'll either be for this, or, as E30Mark says, something to do with rag top roofs.
