Whilst looking at my friend's Porche toolkit I noticed a little threaded bar and asked him what it was for and it turned out to be a Alloy wheel Alignment tool which Porche no longer supply since about 2006/7.
So I thought what a good idea for me having to struggle to put my wheels on/ off, internet to the rescue and arrived very quickly. Don't know if BMW ever supplied one but wouldn't pay their price anyway. May have paid over the top but it's worth it not to get the wheel between my legs to hold it up,while finding the hole.(lol)
Can't think why I've never tried to find something to replace my long screwdriver/locator.
Here's a pic of said tool, you could probably make one up yourself.

Now to find a place in the Zs toolkit, which will make it even better, IMO.:thumbsup:

Oh no, didn't even look Gookah. Now everyone knows that Ive never read the instructions (hand book) and only ever having one flat tyre in the ten yrs of ownership I've only ever used the wheel brace. Serves me right for not looking. Always made sure my long screwdriver was available when wheels needed to come off. Ha ha ha what a knob.:whistle:Thanks for sharing that with me.
Just about to do a quick oil and plug change on it ready for the peaks run so I'll have a look see.

Did you know that you should already have one? there is an unthreaded one in the boot toolkit?
It's that bar with the grey 'handle'.

But I now have one of them too, as mine is worn out now hence buying a threaded one.
Well I never!! Every day's a learning day!!
