[driftmaster808]

did the 318is 16v come with a larger tool kit. I recently bought one off e-bay and was told it was from a 318is,

Only the touring came with the larger toolkit iirc.

It's all lies on e-bay

wasnt the touring a "roll" tool kit ? or did it also have the other ?

but the big tool kit, was an option i belive on all e30s, the spark plug tool size will tell what car it was from

[driftmaster808]

the touring I had came with the roll tool kit.

polsta your pictures of the gear nobs perched up on window cracked me up mate, great stuff i have to say

I've seen my fair share of IS's and have never seen a large toolkit on one.

Post a picture if its the one I saw a while back on eBay its an e34 kit and he knew it

iS only came with small kits.

Touring came with standard tools in a tool roll.

South African cars came with the bigger kits more often than ours.

The original bigger kits were more destined for the e24's and e28's of the range but some found there ways into e30's.

The way to tell an e34 one to an e28 one is that the e34 has just standard tools as per an e30 but in a bigger tray.

The e28 style has 2 sets of spanners, a bigger set of water pump pliers, 2 screwdrivers (red, green or blue handles) and a second pair of normal pliers. The tommy bar was different and there was a 2nd box spaneer as well as the plug socket only smaller.

This is the large tool kit for an e30

The E34 tool kit and tray fits perfectly into the boot mounts of an E30.
