1: Do you have run flat tires? If so, doubt you need a jack, a spare, etc... If not, perhaps a can of the inflate a tire stuff and a tire patch kit and hope you don't have a major blow-out!!!

2: Perhaps a nice blanket, wine and beer and picnic basket? AND a significant other to share it with!

3: Suitcase full of unmarked hundred dollar bills?

4: Luggage for a trip!

I was going to answer......

THE TOP!

But to be serious, I carry a small emergency tool kit, a good flash light, the owners manuals (except for the one main one in the glove box), and a spare quart of oil. The Z4 doesn't use much oil but that's just an old habit.
Include a mobility kit if no RFTs.

Most items aren't needed on the daily commute but it saves having to remember them before long trips out of town.

Nothing really. If you have the pass-thru, there is a ski holder. Other than that, nothing comes to mind. I still like the picnic basket idea. That has great benefits!!!!

Tow hook and convertible (flat/Phillips) screwdriver. They are in a pouch pushed into the foam near the battery.

With you, just found that as well.
Still working on what to put in there....

All seriousness aside, here's what's going in my trunk lately. Of course i was REALLY careful.

Thanks to BMW assist and AAA, nothing. I prefer to keep my car on a diet.
