Hardtop Allen Key

[Caidran]

So I've found a seller of a hardtop that's the same colour as my zed and I'm hoping to go pick it up at the weekend - the unfortunate thing is that they just sold the car that had the hardtop and gave the guy the locking allen key for the hardtop along with it. AndrewP has kindly offered to provide me with his tools to take with me to secure the hardtop and adjust if necessary however I will need to purchase my own set. I've been looking online and can't seem to find anywhere that sells the tools, probably due to not knowing what they are officially called or their part numbers.

Does anyone know the names/part numbers of what I'm looking for?

Cheers

If it's just an Allen key then Halfords or eBay will do. Just get somebody to confirm the size.

Its an allen key on one end (for locking the roof), but the other end has a slimmer barrel to unlock the side pins...

Main dealer jobbie then.

Not at all. Simple allen key for the centre front fixing and any old screwdriver or 6" nail will fit the side mounts to turn them 90 degrees to lock.

The 'special hexagon wrench' is part 8 - http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BU52&mospid=49303&btnr=54_0330&hg=54&fg=20 - but no part number.

An allen key and cylindrical tool of the right size will do the job fine, along with a 25mm spanner to adjust the height. The fitting instructions in the hardtop retrofit kit manual at http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=24559 are better that the hardtop manual itself, but again no part number for the hexagon wrench.
