Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

Has anyone found a quality, folding tow hook alternative to the premium ones like Rennline, Raceseng, and Brey Krause offer? If I have to spend $125-$200 I will, but are there any quality functional options you all have found or all all the cheaper (read $20-$30) eBay/Amazon/JDM options just cheap aluminum junk that will snap if put under stress?
I got a towhook out of a BMW SUV.
It’s the same thread/pitch as a Porsche hook but much longer. (BMW cars are different)
I’ve painted it red on the end, and was able to add a GoPro Mount.
My plan is to use it on the front.
For the rear, I‘ve drilled a hole in the black plastic license plate holder.
2 license plate screws removed and the plate comes off and I can install the original Porsche tow hook in back.
My BMW 135i had to be towed home broken way too many times in the 3 years I owned it.
I bought a second towhook so I could keep the original in the tool kit, and have another in the glovebox ready to install.
I kept the spare one and it’s in my towhook collection.
The 135i was lots of fun, but plagued by electrical issues.
