how to pull my Z4

[goldengob]

Ok, so I'm trying to get my Z4 out of the driveway for her inspection. I'm now stuck in the snow. Looks like I am going to have to pull her out from the rear.
Does anyone know where I should hook the rope as to not cause any damage. I'm looking underneath but not seeing any obvious tow points.

Thanks!

Can't you use the towing eye?

There should be a little plastic cover that pops off (look carefully on the bumper). There also should be a tow eyelet in the tool bag (under the cover in the trunk-by the battery). Pop off the cover, screw in the eyelet, and tow away. There's a cover in the front as well.

Found the eye! Thanks so much guys, I will give it a shot. Damn snow anyway

Well 2 zero, after the crap day that I had. Your pics made me smile. Thanks for that.
I eventually after many lame attempts on my own, a truck with chains got me out.

Thanks again for the info guys!

I got stuck, pulled my truck around and realized I didn't have anything to attach the truck to the car.
I had to go buy rope and of course the car came out without any effort.

I then spent two days cleaning the car. I had mud caked everywhere, up to 3 inches thick!!

And then had to listen to "I told you not to drive through the yard" for days.

All because I was to lazy to move the truck out the way from the start!!

On the subject of towing, i spotted these pics last night :|

Luckily and amazingly both occupants walked away unhurt!

 

[Smokin]

That's not towing, that's retrieving! yikes

For what it matters at that point... Isn't there a sticker on the wishbone saying something along the line of: "Do not pull the car from here"...
