M6 GC Tow hook/eye/fitting

TinCanSailor · 05-27-2020, 04:59 PM

Hoping someone can help me find the tow hook.eye/fitting part number. Mine came up missing after a recent tow. I have a 2015 M6GC. Thank you in advance for the assist.

Usually this a dealer thing.

Much appreciated. It's all in the search terms. I had looked on real oem before but the term I used was tow, tow hook, tow eye and never got close to it. I noticed the url path of the search you used had the term car tool and got a better search result when I tried. Thank you!

When I purchased tow hinges, I went through the dealer. The price was the same vs FCP Euro, and the fellow at the dealership parts dept. I know and trust. Wouldn’t want to have a hinge that wouldn’t fit...
Also be sure to look up your cars device for unlocking the transmission. If you have no power and need to be towed you’ll need to unlock. My M6 requires a long Allen key to unlock in key hole under the cup holder tray.

...or if your car falls in the production range that doesn't have the little orange transmission release tool nor the location to release the tranny underneath your cup holders...be prepared to either do the mechanical tranny release by going under the car, remove a panel, then access the release...or be prepared to do the electronic tranny release by pulling the fuel pump fuse then do the gear shift release trick (see instructions below).

What about DCT towing? Can find a way to put in neutral. I know I can start the engine and put in "N" but just want to make sure that if I can't start the engine one day

Click this link and take note of the instruction for UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE ( if you don't have the ability to do it from inside the car): https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...-lock/HczJiqwh
