I put together a google sheet with a list of tools needed to work on the e46. There have been a million threads, but they seem to be tons of posts adding a tool here and there. I wanted to get a list of the basic, intermediate, and Jedi-level tools needed to diagnose, repair, and upgrade our cars (I have a ZHP and a 325iT).
Take a look - basic tools are "A", intermediate "B", and advanced "C". I tried not to say "just get a set with 120 tools" or "buy a set of ratchets from 8-15". Instead I thought it would be interesting to know what tools you actually need, meaning there is a real fastener or part associated with them.
If you can add a tool, or a manufacturer/part number, please do. I would have loved to have a list like this when I was starting a decade ago!
