Empty slots are for wrench, wheel lock key and emergency sunroof crank.

• Tire pressure gauge
• Surefire flashlight
• Tire plug kit
• Jack
• Lug wrench
• Halon extinguisher
• Euro warning triangle
• Interior cleaner
• Detailing spray
• Microfiber cloths
• Latex gloves
• Disposable plastic poncho
• Space blanket
• Std. MMobility kit and tool kit
• Get Out of Jail Free card
• Space saver spare (only when on out of town trips)

I don't carry oils because if you check it at home occasionally you should never have to add on the road unless you are on a very long trip.

I like the fire extinguisher idea. How do you secure it?

Or supercars. I have always carried one in each of my cars and used them twice for other emergencies. One was for an RV on a drive on beach that burned to a crisp but nobody hurt. The other was at work for a fire in one of my roasters.

Well lovely. Apparently these tools are missing from all 2011 BMW toolkits. Another cost cutting measure?

I raised the issue with my dealer, and they are providing them to me gratis. Overall cost is under $10. I hope the BMW stockholders enjoy it.

Anyone got the part # for that trunk panel with the small storage compartment in post #25? Mine is just flat with a small plastic insert.

That comes with the Enhanced Premium Sound package, I believe. The door is actually for the CD player location, though I do not have one in mine. You could convert it to a storage compartment, though. There are lots of different part numbers for these panels - you should have your dealer parts guy help find the right one.

Damn thats a small tool box.. :P I have one with lots of items.

Mine has the standard extinguisher bracket mounted to the top of the audio enclosure, as shown in the photo.

I have Enhanced Premium Sound and I don't have it

Lol the parts department at my dealership is a freaking joke....

I don't know the answer, because I have an '08, too. It's where the CD player would go, so the part should be related to this dealer-installed option.
