Hey all, even though my 2013 was bought with the 90,000 km service done, I'd like to make sure I have the necessary specialty tools to do routine maintenance.
I have the full complement of hand tools including torque wrench.
What BMW specific tools are necessary to do things like pull plugs or that sort of thing?
Thanks!
 
This site provides a free tool list for your bike. It also has a free list of torque specs and maintenance videos for sale. Worth the investment
 
I'll list a few that I can think of. Various sources, but I'll post a link to the tools from BMW Supplier.
- A front axle wrench adapter: https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/product-p/hexadapter.htm
- A stick coil removal tool (can do without, but why risk damage) https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/Aluminum-Stick-Coil-Extractor-BMW-R-and-K-p/bmw-scoil248tool.htm
- A deep well spark plug socket, on mine I think its 14mm, but I'd double check.
- Feeler gauges to check valve clearances.
- T25 torx bit for all the body panel bolts, you will need some other Torx bits, T45, T50, T25 seem to be ones I use most.
- There are a few other specialty tools if you do the belt or clutch, but there are some work arounds that work.
- You might find a syringe and tube helpful to fill rear end fluid.
