Tool kit location Options

[bbrock]

This is not a question about the contents of tool kits but rather, where did the proud new owner of one of these fine machines find their tool kit shortly after driving their car away from the dealer's lot? I've always been impressed how almost everything on these cars has its purpose and place carefully thought through. Of course, what else would we expect? It's German! Then there is the tool kit. I have yet to find a location where it doesn't seem haphazardly placed to just roll around and get banged up. The best spot I've found is in the center of the spare but that tommy bar is a tad long to be anything but awkward. So where, pray tell, did the factory stow these things?

Thanks for this! I reposted this thread in the garage and the consensus seems to be storing in the trunk with the jack but that is all current preference. Nobody has commented yet on where the tool kits were when new. You've come the closest. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

FWIW, as long as the jack point are solid, the factory jack is a surprisingly good device. I actually prefer it to my floor jack for getting the car on jack stands. It lifts a whole side of the car at a time so quicker and easier than my floor jack.
