Tow Eye BMW E30 E36 E46 Z3 Z4 Yellow, 10 mm Steel

With this yellow tow eye BMW you always have a solid towing point on your E30, E36, E36 Compact, E46, Z3 or Z4. You screw it into the original factory thread, so no drilling or cutting. If your car comes to a stop in the gravel trap, the recovery crew can hook you up in a few seconds.

A good tow eye is also handy on a road car, and the bright yellow colour turns a functional part into a real eye-catcher on the bumper. The eye is laser-cut from 10 mm S355 steel, so it does not crack or bend.

Installation and delivery

Find the cover for the tow eye thread in the front or rear bumper, remove it and screw the eye into the thread by hand. Then tighten it firmly so that it cannot come undone. If the thread is full of dirt or rust, clean it first with a wire brush or a thread tap. You do not need tools from a specialist workshop.

Always pull in line with the car when you use the tow eye BMW, and use a tow rope or tow strap in good condition. An angled or jerky pull puts unnecessary load on the thread in the body. Give the eye another turn after a tow, so you know for sure it is still tight the next time.

Yellow stands out in the gravel trap and on the bumper: exactly what a tow eye is for.

Why choose this tow eye BMW in yellow?

Above all, a tow eye has to do what it promises: get your car off the track quickly and safely. This 10 mm steel eye can handle that force, and thanks to the bright colour the marshal immediately sees where to hook on. It screws into the original thread, so you can move it to another car within a minute or keep it in the boot. For anyone who also wants to give their BMW a visual race character, this yellow tow eye BMW is a small but visible upgrade.
