Subject: that tool..is the tire pin/spark plug tool...and now the fog lite tool, too!

That's a great tip Philly...never thought of using it that way. If you didn't know...if you are changing your wheels you can stick the gray plastic end up into the (top) hole where the wheel lug bolts go...this allows you to slide the wheel upon the "pin" and it will guide it towards the wheel hub for you to center the wheel. It also holds the wheel up and makes it easier to start the lug bolts.

This pin also fits into the spark plug tool so that you can turn it. Gee, those BMW engineers are smart...this tool now has 3 functions!
