What tools should I buy to work on my BMW as a new BMW owner?
Short introduction:
My previous car was a 2023 GR86.
With the 180pc toolset from Autozone (in addition to some power tools and other tools), that gave me what I needed for pretty much 98% of all work I would need to do on that car.
Unfortunately, that car was totaled, and I now have a 2016 BMW 640i.
This is my first BMW, and I’m wondering what tools I should buy in order to work on my BMW myself.
So far the only thing I’ve attempted to do is remove the dashboard in order to install the Bimmerplug apple carplay retrofit box, and that was a huge pain in the aśś because I don’t have any torx sockets, only a torx key set, and it seems like every nut bolt and screw on this car has a torx head.
Specifically the thing that made me make this post, are some stupid fasteners holding the trunk lid liner in place. The gasket around the rearview camera is completely eaten away and id like to replace it, but I am unable to remove the fasteners that hold the trunk lid liner in place. They appear to be a sort of Philips head, but none of my Torx or Philips heads are able to unscrew these fasteners. I’ve attached some pictures of the fasteners below.
