Genius Tools. Not everything is great but, there are some excellent choices such as their extra long zero offset metric boxed end wrenches.

They are also one of the few that make 12pt metric swivel sockets in 1/4" drive----exactly what I needed to replace the oil filter housing gasket on my BMW N52. Genius tools are a bargain for the quality.

What size did you need?

I recall it being M8 (12 pt) to fit a E10 bolt head. You absolutely must have a swivel if you don't want to spend hrs removing everything in the way. And it must be a 1/4" drive due to clearance issues. I already had a set of E-torx sockets, but the E10 was a 3/8" drive, and too thick. The Genius swivel set worked perfectly, and the job on my e90 took me about an hour (including oil change and coolant bleed).
