First Mods: First Aid Kit and Roadside Tools

Out of habit with our other cars, we like to keep European-issued warning triangles and first aid kits with all of our cars.  To get original BMW parts however, is not easy.  ECS Tuning usually can get first aid kits.  Some of the other parts had to come from ebay.  Other supplementals are from Amazon.  The actual BMW European first aid kit is great, but it is designed for pretty serious accidents.  It doesn't come with simple Band Aids or little things, so we add those to supplement.
