E60 tooling list - need advice
Hey guys, new to the BMW scene. I'm going to be getting tooling that I'll soon be needing, I'll be replacing the cylinder head come spring. So far I've got;
(All metric I'm assuming)
E torx set
Tamper proof torx set
Standard Allen sockets (sizes?)
Timing chain lock/hold down kit
I also picked up a cheaper like (like 60$) code reader for BMW that seams to work pretty well.
Any other ideas for tools would be appreciated!

1/4" and 3/8" metric sockets, standard and deep
Various socket extensions
3/8 flex ratchet
Oetiker pliers
Hook and pick set
I'd skip the tamper-proof Torx set and just get a regular Torx bit set. Buy the best bit set that you can afford: VIM, Snap-On (gold) or SK
