Who knows for sure that BMW might've used differently threaded valve on the same production run; as they used up valves made by one supplier, the next batch they used may have been from a second supplier, of a slightly different spec. My 2001 may have a different valve than an earlier 2001, and so forth.

I think I'll get a set from Amazon with several adapters to try (one of the $50 sets). I'll bet they're all made in the same Chinese factory as the OTC & Harbor Freight test kits.
