I have a tool kit from a 318is ,
Thr tool on far right the chrome has peeled away and slight rusting , the adjustable swan necks could do with an autosol .
But i rarely see the plastic thingy in bottom left forsale and when i did it was £25 alone ??

What is this all worth to someone ? As i dont need/want it .

screwdriver is 100% not genuine! they should have a grey handle and the shaft pulls out and is a cross head one end, flat the other.

the plastic thing is some magic wind up tool which in no use at all on the e30. people just like spending silly money on them to fill the empty hole in the tool holder which spends 99.99% of it's time in a closed position on the underside of a closed bootlid for some absurd reason. :mad:

I'd sell all the bits separetely as it's not a totally complete kit, and the corroded peg and non oe screwdriver are worth sod all. the spanners, pliars and is specific plug tool should fetch a few quid each as should the plastic thingy which is probably worth as much on it's own as the rest put together.
cheers,

harry

Cheers fella ,

Thinking about it i have a bmw screwdriver as you say but with black handle ? .

Selling all this seperatly would be a chore i imagine but most profitable as you say , would all this as one be worth £25 or more ? Or less ? . I ask as i need funds to fix my welder to carry on with my car .

You maybe lucky at that price but I doubt it Iv got several kits with all the right parts and no interest at less money.
You should get about £15 these days for the winder tool alone but no one will really want the rest.

Thanks , I think £20 posed would be acceptable for the lot then .

Is there a correct name for the winder tool ? ,

You lot are ametueurs I sold a complete tool kit for £56 posted on ebay.

Albeit, I had a slight issue with the buyer and refunded him £10 because I couldn't be arsed with the hassle but was still haappy with the £35 profit after posting it to Spain.
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

winder tool will/should fetch £25 alone , with the tool kit aswell list on ebay as "complete rare bmw e30 325i sport 318is tool kit rare winder alpina" or so, so it covers all search bases ,should see good money

If you are referring to mine I can assure you it was average frag, it's all about the advert/photo's :)

I cant do ebay selling as dont have an bank account to setup paying fees. Ive put it on here for 20+ post before i see these last few comments , i need funds for welder parts asap so a quick sale would be good i suppose .

The tools themselves arnt great but a good price on winder if you say £25 alone .

Cheers guys as i was just gonna throw it in the bin or ditch it for a fiver lol .

There's 2 listings at the min for the tool on eBay ones new £18.50 as a buy it now the other is £17.50 no bids last I looked and they have both been relisted several times.
There was a craze a while back and they fetched silly money but it died down. I'm sure if you put the kit in the for sale section you should get what your after
