Installation and delivery

You fit a tow eye BMW E30 in a few minutes: if necessary, remove the cover cap in the bumper and screw the tow eye with its zinc-plated threaded section into the original thread. Screw it in fully until the eye is firmly seated. Check the thread for dirt or rust beforehand and clean it if necessary, so the eye goes in smoothly.

If you use the car on track, simply leave the tow eye BMW E30 in place. On public roads, you decide for yourself whether to fit it or keep it in the boot. Always tow straight and steadily, without jerking, with an approved tow rope or tow strap.

Why choose this tow eye BMW E30?

At a drift day or track day, the track stays closed as long as a car has not been removed. With this eye, the recovery crew can hook you up quickly without searching for a spot under the bumper. The 10 mm thick steel is resistant to cracking and bending, and the threaded section is zinc-plated. So you get a functional part that also looks sharp. For anyone who regularly drives on track, a tow eye BMW E30 is basically standard equipment, just like a fire extinguisher and a good belt.
