The Mishimoto Front Tow Hook is a bolt-on, race-ready front recovery point for the BMW E36 and compatible chassis, in a blue finish for show, pit towing, or recovery. It mounts in place of the factory front tow hook with no cutting, welding, or drilling. Machined from high-strength 7075 aluminum with 304 stainless-steel hardware and powder-coated for durability, it uses a 2 inch fold-down ring and carries an 8,000 pound straight-pull rating that meets or exceeds SCCA, NASA, and BMW CCA requirements. Backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
