Missing items from toolkit upon delivery

I recently took delivery of a brand new 2008 4.8i E70. In comparing some past posts, it looks like there are a couple of items missing from the onboard toolkit.

From left to right I DID receive the following:

1) Orange transmission unlock tool

2) Screwdriver

3) Tow fitting

I did NOT receive the following two items (which it looks like others have in earlier 2008 and 2007 models from posted pics):

4) Double open ended wrench

5) Allen wrench (z-shaped) for manual sunroof operation (power failure)

Just to be clear...my toolkit looks like this:

While I think it should look like this (minus the wheel lock tool in the top center):

I see several people have also taken delivery of their 4.8i in the last few months. Did you guys receive both of these? Has BMW changed the toolkit recently? The manual is very generic and doesn't show a list of included items. It seems weird for these to be missing on a brand new vehicle (with less than 10 miles on it at delivery). What does the open ended wrench fit anyway (presumably at least two different items)?

Also...I did not receive the LED flashlight that is supposed to be in the center console compartment. Can those of you with recent deliveries comment on whether you received this as well?

I plan on contacting my dealer about this, but would like independent confirmation before insisting that stuff is missing.

Thanks,
Loki
