Towing Eye Bolt fitment?

Post by shy7g » Tue Aug 21, 2012 2:50 pm

Hi does anyone know if the towing eye bolt thread is standard across the range of all BMW's?
i.e. will a towing eye bolt off a BMW E46 3 SERIES fit the X5 Tow Bolt hole?
thanks

It's apparently called a 'Towing Hinge' (no I don't know who came up with the name, but well now you know too.... :blink: ) and is common across all these models, but the E46 one is not listed as being compatible.
