I changed the plugs today on my Zafira, I did have the right sized spark plug tool!

Guess what, I went into the Boot of my beemer and got the spark plug tool out, Fitted great! I love the bmw toolbox!

Anyone else had good luck with there toolbox??

I did that once, Had a tec2 and a tec1. Was keeping the tec2 so changed the tools and torch! And the plate and the leather inside o and the exhaust! Basically I bought the tec1 for the above reasons
