    Race/Track Car Tow Straps

    Race/Track Car Tow Straps

    These particular straps were made for an e46 to attach around the front and rear bumper shock/support and thread through the existing tow hook hole. However, they should fit with pretty much any BMW platform. These are top notch quality; professionally manufactured with a 6,000 lb break strength rating. If there is significant interest, I can have more batches made (different sizing, hardware, and colors options are available).

    I currently have two types (shown in pictures).
    1. Straps with no hardware in the five colors shown. These are great for threading through the bumper cover and around the bumper shocks; especially on fairly stock cars.
    2. Straps with hardware (red only). These are great if you want to simply bolt the strap on somewhere other than the stock location.

    The price is per pair. Free shipping within US.

    I would love a set in red with hardware. You wouldn't have pics of these on an E36m anywhere would you?

    Do you have a photo showing how the non-hardware version is secured?

    Let me know if that doesn't clear it up.

    That helps. Your price is per pair; does that mean two are included for $20, one for front and one for rear? If so, what do we do considering that you only have one red non-hardware version? Can I just buy the single strap?

    Yep, two are included for $20. $12 for a single one if you'd like. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    No more questions. I'd like to buy the red, non-hardware version. If you have two, I'll take both, but one is fine if that's all you have. Please PM me with payment info. Shipping would be to Austin, TX, 78705.

    2. Straps with hardware (red only).
    For the red straps with hardware, how large of a hole is it?

    I'm curious if I can get a bolt that is the same diameter and thread pitch as the front/rear OEM tow hooks and bolt straps it at those locations.

    The hole is 5/8". I believe it will fit, but I haven't double checked.

    The work load is only 2000 lbs, how does that work for a 2300 lbs car?

    As long as all four wheels aren't locked up on pavement, it should be no problem.

    Also curious if someone has found the right bolts that would work for the ones w hardware.

    Looks like the OEM uses an odd size but it's M15.8x3.175 tapered.


    M16x3 might work though.

    I've been hunting around and haven't had any luck with the bolts. I'm going to take a look at having some manufactured....
