BBS Splitter - tow eye extension

[e21paddy]

Hello all,

As a lot of us have BBS splitters, I’m wondering how people are getting over the fact that their towing eye is covered after install?

I recall on W&N seeing an extender piece that would allow the angular clearance for towing, but can’t seem to find mention of it anywhere!

There used to be an extension for the E21 but I believe it is NLA for decades already:



But perhaps the one for the M-Tech E30's will work and is also more rigid:



Part no 51 71 1 953 903

Looks like it is still available from the dealer and otherwise I found it here, but much more expensive:

I was able to order the extention back in 2010 .. at the moment NLA ik am affraid

Seems like an easy part to fabricate something similar. I’ll draw something up and share if there’s an interest.

I have serious apprehension about being unable to tow the car without destroying the front bumper

Looks very similar to the e30 mtec item

car like this are not for towing

i had this issue some time ago, so i used tow truck and pulled car on the truck using aft hook.
