z-shaped allen-key for electric sunroof/windows (if the electrics fail)

small mad cream-coloured plastic thing - what's that for again?

In mine there was a mystery key and the key for the wheel nuts but I don't think its specifically for those cos they try to fall out whenever I close it. Can you get any of these tools from dealers?

The two tools your missing are for manually winding up/down the electric windows on prefacelift E30.
they are used in conjuction with the screwdriver handle and the spark plug spanner/pin.

I will try and dig out a picture fof them but its been years since this topic has come up so i might not find it.

Looks like the full kitto me, any 325i sport i ever had, had no tools in them. Just bought a 320i se and it has the full kit, even has the original torch in the glove box, which i've never seen before.

Where in Ireland are you i'm down in Meath and depending what i sell car for may take out original dealer book, torch toolkit etc.
