Need tool recomendations for BMW's
I'm looking for a list of must have tools when working on our cars. I'm not a beginner I've done about everything from 4x4, AWD, FWD, RWD maintenance, engine rebuilds, trans rebuilds, performance basic bolt ons to power adders but 90% of my experience is on Japanese brands which in my opinion is much easier compared to other brands especially domestics. I've found myself needing more tools working on the BMW that I've previously never needed. Obvious things besides your basic hand tools and basic wrench and socket sets etc. I've got
-1/4 Swivel sockets -Torx sets - rarely needed before -Torx sockets - never needed before -short allen sockets - rarely needed before -3/8 IR impact -3/8 IR air ratchet -1/4 IR air ratchet -air hammer -3/8 impact swivel sockets -3/8 impact universal - probably most used piece in my tool box. -Blue Point ratchet wrenches -Interior/trim tools -Pry bars -pick sets -electrical testers -BMW spark plug socket -several floor jacks Things on my list to get -Ball Hex Socket set - probably snap-on as I've seen craftsman with missing ends. But not sure if short or long would be better. -AR 50mm drive shaft tool. -Big ass jack and stands since I no longer have access to a lift. What other specialized tools would be recommended. I would imagine that over the next year or so I would be doing any maintenance that comes up plus the rear diff from VAC that's sitting in my garage, rear sub frame bushings, full bolt on mods. Then if anything else came up like replacing turbos to HPFP etc. |
