It's to adjust the muffler bearings
And the other one is the filler neck for the bucket of steam

OP, does your car have DDC? do you have or did your car ever have HAS (MP, Dinan, KW or whatever)?

I dont know the history of the car.

What's DDC?

Poiseuille · 08-10-2018, 03:38 PM

Dynamic damper control

Picture below is lifted from another member's thread. Picture is of a special installation/removal tool supplied with a KW DDC HAS kit. Think that's what you've got there, just not from KW. PO probably removed his kit before trade-in or lease turn in. Just my guess.

BMW switched to a lifetime fill on the blinker fluid. However, many BMWs leave the factory without any fluid whatsoever rendering BMW owners incapable of using their signals.

BzsBimmer · 08-11-2018, 12:05 PM

Op. Can you post pictures of the inside of the large end and the top view of the small end?

Interesting that the small piece would be made of brass. For a mass produced part for a suspension kit, I would think it would be more stainless or other material.

I insisted on having my blinker fluid changed during my break in service. Lifetime fluid yea right it was so dirty coming out. My turn signal stalk action is sooooo smooth now.

So..did some searching...silver piece is a spark plug spanner

Added more pics of the gold piece...still have no idea

BzsBimmer · 08-11-2018, 02:13 PM

Interesting. So PO was a bike rider it seems.
Yeah that’s not a spark plug tool for our cars... no splines.
The brass piece looks like some type of plunger functionality.

Doesn’t look like it is a car part. Maybe post on a motorcycle forum?

Easy enough to determine if the car has KW springs, just jack up one side and remove either front or rear wheel. KW springs are yellow with purple collars. They should also say KW near the bottom.

Well, the question is not whether he HAS KW, because as you suggest that would be obvious, but rather if he HAD KW. Pretty common for original owners to have taken those mods off the car prior to lease turn-in or trade-in. Also, if op's car did at one time have HAS, it probably wouldn't have been KW because those tools don't look like KW, they're just similar in appearance. Lastly, in my original comment regarding a solution to OP's question, I did say "it's just a guess" based on what the parts look like and also where OP found them.
