Anything else you guys keep in your X5’s?
Bought a cool tool at AAA the other day.
It is a glass braking hammer, digital tire guage, flash light and seat belt knife cutter. Hope I never use it

This LED flashlight, or one of its cousins, if you want something relatively inexpensive but bright and dependable. If you want to spend a bit more, for a portable lighthouse, get a Surefire.
