Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Both my 996 and my 986 are missing their tow hooks, I need to borrow or buy this for Saturday. I already called the dealer and they don't have one. Thanks Shawn

POST 3Original post

I picked up a spare Porsche towhook off eBay for $25. It was shipped from a Porsche dealer and saved me a bunch of $. I seem to have built a towhook collection from working on European cars over the years. I've had customers who had lost their towhooks. This seems to happen a lot with BMWs. Since a BMW's second home in on a tow truck the towhooks get used a lot. Tow truck drivers sometimes forget to return towhooks, so I bought(and lost) some spares. The newer BMW SUVs (X1, X3, X5) use a different towhook which has the same thread and pitch as a Porsche. Better yet it is longer, which I really like! See if you can find one of the newer BMW SUV towhooks on eBay. The one pictured above came off a 2011ish X1 that was being parted out. I think I paid $10 for it. Search for "tow hook" and "tow eye."
