Tool Kit Contents

So my new to me 2016 F56 just showed up. I have been poking around to figure out what I bought and am curious about the tool kit. Mine has about 3 tools in it. What is the normal content of the tool kit for a US market F56? I assume we don't get the warning triangle mentioned in the manual?

In the jack bag there is the jack and the wrench. In my battery area is the small plastic pack that has the tow hook. In my R53 with the tow hook was a small pin to pull the hubcaps off.

I wondered if my model would have a jack? I don't have a jack bag.

As the Gen1 phone system is a dixie cup and a string, perhaps they traded the Gen3 jack for a real phone system?

Pretty sure somebody with one of those new fancy F series will chime in and educate me the hillbilly ownin Gen1 guy. No jack, does that mean there are not tires on the thing?

Well, I don't have a spare tire - that's for sure.

Yeah, I didnt have one either. Mine came with the run flats.

In the winter when I run my non-run flat wheels I have a mini (ha) compressor, and patch/plug kit in the car.

The compartment appears to be designed to hold more stuff than I have. I think I have a tow hook, and maybe a screwdriver and a pair of pliers?

I thought even the run flat cars came with a compressor and some tire sealant goo?

My '18 USDM F56 came with the tow hook, and a reversible screwdriver in a red trimmed black vinyl bag with a Velcro closure tab. No jack. (Although my '05 R53 came with a jack and run flats...)

No warning triangle in either.

What was the third tool that came with yours?

My bad. You are right. Just the two items; tow hook and screwdriver. Well, and a bag with the carpet stays in it.
