Half an E91 Tool Kit!
As the saying goes:
Q: "What's worse than finding a worm in your apple...?" A: "HALF a worm!" So I recently collected my 2008 E91 (CPO) from the BMW dealership and spent several hours reading the OM, at which point I discover this car has a toolkit. "Cool," I think and go looking for it. Sadly, I discover I don't have a toolkit.. I have HALF a toolkit!! There isn't even a TOW HOOK!! I would have thought that would be a legislated requirement to sell a car, especially a BMW CPO one - if you can't tow it properly or safely, that seems like a liability to me, no? Like having a spare tire (or runflats in this case). Anyway - I brought it to their attention, and they are DEBATING on what to do!! Disappointed. I would have expected that should be an "OMG MR. NEW CPO OWNER, we are very sorry for our oversight, and will send you a new toolkit (which will cost us next to nothing) immediately." Still waiting to hear what they decide. And before I get pounded for not checking - I didn't expect to need to re-CPO the car myself on delivery... I looked for scratches and two keys, and drove off happy. Until now. |

You have to find a way to get them you a full set most likely they took it themselves because stealership. When my dad and I went to go get him an X5 from BMW Long Beach I noticed the retractable trunk cover was missing and they brought out a new one. You always have to check for the spare, jack, toolkit, owners manual, for suvs the trunk cover, etc.

And yes... live and learn. Had this been a roadsider deal, I would surely have gone over it with a fine toothed comb. I trusted the CPO a little too much it seems. |

Sorry to hear that, that blows. Hopefully, the dealership would do the right thing and fork over the missing items (or just give you a brand new kit).

thats pretty common. it used to come with a full set, but seems a lot don't anymore. if you search you will see other have complained about it too. my cousin got an 09 335 cpo recently and he was missing a few things. my 06 came with all.

Hunh - didn't know that! First time CPO buyer, figured it'd be "good as new"! Lesson learned..

And as time went on, the toolkit contained fewer and fewer things. My brand-new Euro-delivered '11 e91 came with nothing but the tow hook. I added the rest myself.
Nice thing about ED is you do get the First Aid kit and warning triangle for free.
