Tools included in trunk?

[X-cellent]

"Toolbox" is also missing sunroof emergency crank (allen wrench in picture?) and open end wrench.

Aren't diesels still come with the older 6-speed transmission?

Yup. And that transmission has the manual bypass so it gets the tool.

The tool is not needed for the new transmission, as BMW is sure it will never malfunction and need a manual override...

My 2011 came with the red release for the transmission but not the wrench or the sunroof crank (which I bought). I believe that the 8 speed in the 2011s is the same unit as the 2012s and 2013s.

I haven't looked under the cup holder insert for the release but will. Strange that they would have in a 2011 and not later model years if the trans is the same.

Thanks

I just got a 2010 x5 35d, all I seem to have is the towing eye and a red tool that looks like is used to open the lid for the exhaust urea fluid. Can some one give a list of the tools that should be there with pictures, and another question where can I buy the missing tools.

Welll...you can always order the parts from your local BMW dealership's parts department.

Or you can go to any of the online part databases...and look up the part you're interested in and get the BMW 11 digit part nbr...then search the internet using that 11 digit part nbr (it helps to shop with the nbr rather than generically because not all things are the same during a production run).

Click links above the diagrams to go directly to the part nbr index:

Onboard equipment | BMW X5 E70 LCI X5 35dX M57N2 USA



{#9 in diagram below & link to part nbr index is the sunroof's emergency tool}
Electric panoramic roof | BMW X5 E70 LCI X5 35dX M57N2 USA


{#11 in diagram below is the "orange" handle for emergency unlocking if vehicle is so equipped}

Parking brake/actuator | BMW X5 E70 LCI X5 35dX M57N2 USA
