Thx.
I bought my tools from www.kochtools.com They are of great quality. Unfortunately they are not available anymore, I found just those:
N54 BMW Vanos Alignment Fixture - $20 N54 BMW Rigid Chain Tensioner - $30

EWK seems to be a good option but still lacks the chain tensioner, which you may get from Koch.
