aFe CONTROL's rear tow hook is CNC machined from 4130 steel and strong enough to winch the car onto a flatbed or pull it off track, not merely to look the part. The stem is black zinc coated for corrosion resistance and the loop is powder coated red, with blue, black and gray also offered. This is not a universal hook: the stem is cut to a length specific to the BMW rear bumper so the loop ends up where it needs to be. Both the stem and bolt threads arrive pre-coated with Vibra-tite threadlocker, which stays flexible and reusable, so the hook resists vibration but still comes off and goes back on cleanly. Grade 10.9 hardware is included, and a matching front hook is available as 450-502001-R.
