Does the BMW first aid kit contain masks?

BMW's first aid kit does not contain masks. Additional information is as follows: Definition of vehicle first aid kit: A vehicle first aid kit is a package equipped with medical emergency equipment and medications that can be used for self-rescue in the event of traffic accidents causing casualties. It is one of the effective means to reduce traffic fatalities. The vehicle first aid kit mainly includes dressing supplies such as elastic head covers, buckle-type tourniquets, elastic bandages, etc., sterile dressings such as gauze, bandages, disposable gloves, etc., and tools such as first aid scissors, medical tweezers, safety pins, and life whistles. Introduction to vehicle first aid kits: As the saying goes, safety comes first when purchasing a car. Safety is absolutely an eternal topic, and there is no law requiring vehicles to be equipped with first aid kits. Many drivers do not equip their cars with first aid kits to save money. Given that lives are at stake, the popularization of equipping vehicles with fire extinguishers and first aid kits is imperative. Chongqing has already stipulated that first aid kits must be mandatory equipment for vehicles, and regulations will also be introduced to make first aid kits mandatory for vehicles.
As a long-time BMW driver with years of experience, I've thoroughly checked the first aid kit in my car several times. The kit is usually stored in the trunk and is designed to meet standard first aid needs, such as bandages, adhesive tape, disinfectants, etc., making it convenient for treating abrasions or minor wounds. However, I've never seen masks included in it. Masks are more of an accessory for preventing infectious diseases or air pollution, not an essential first aid item. Post-pandemic, I recommend adding an individually packaged mask to your kit—it can be quite useful in emergencies. The original BMW kit is of good quality, but owners should definitely check and update its contents regularly to align with the latest health standards. This way, you can drive with greater peace of mind, without solely relying on the original setup.
