Where is the towing eye on the z4m?

[fridaypassion]

In the manual it says it's in the roll up toolkit but mine appears not to be there?

If it's not there, then it's not there - it's not easy to miss as it's the biggest chunk of metal in the kit

I've just bought a another one from BMW for when I do trackdays - one for each end as I'd not know which end would be facing out of the kitty-litter, and as a marshal I understand what happens if the recovery crew can't find the towing eye (they tend to tie the chain to whatever piece of body work protudes the most, or put it through the nearest window - open or not)!

Surely 5 minutes in a breakers yard would yield one for a fiver or less. That part is compatible with M3, X5, 7 and 1 series.

Had to get my dealer to order one as mine was missing too...

Makes you wonder why it's not there though, had mine out a couple of times

:roll:

That would involve getting dirty - and that dirt could make its way into the car

The only reason I got mine from the dealer rather than ebay/breakers, was that I forgot about it until the afternoon before the track day and just phoned the dealer who happened to have one, so went straight over and picked it up. I'm going to get mine powedercoated/plasticoated in bright red so that it can be seen more easily

Here's one on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330311937262

I've got the M Mobility missing as well from my car. Not very happy with the previous owner TBH!

Got a 3 series one from ebay hopefully it will fit!
