Have you lost your factory took hook eyelet? Is the towing eye missing from your trunk mounted factory tool kit? Then you may need this part! It's very common ( especially after a tow) for the tow hook eye to get misplaced and lost in the shuffle. This is a Genuine BMW replacement that was used for all E46 M3, early X5 (thru 3/2002 production date), early E65/E66 7 series (2002 models thru 3/2002 only), and all E85/E86 generation Z4 roadsters and Z4 coupes.
