PSA: tow hook
I was on the fence to splurge some dollars for one of them fancy tow straps but I just went to the track and spotted a m2c with a tow hook unlike something I have not seen for sale online. Turns out the m2c does come with a tow hook from the factory. Its in a black pouch with red lining in the trunk next to the battery.
Cheers. |

Almost all cars come with a basic tow hook, I believe

Like Yas picture shows it's just a fancier look. The "basic" one is all metal like the one we have in the trunk, and designed to get the job done.

Not sure how this is a PSA. Any car that has a flap in the bumpers for a tow hook will come with one from the factory -- it's required. Pretty much every BMW for the last 25 years has been like this.
If a car has tow hooks permanently attached to the frame then it won't have a flap in the bumper and it won't come with a separate tow hook. |

I made this post so it could help someone who is not aware like me where I almost dumped 300$ on a fancy strap or my wheels got hooked cause the tow truck asked if I had a tow hook and I said I don't know

Driving around with a tow strap or hook installed seems very ricer. What's the point?

You need to put it on for track days. So you can get towed easily if you go off track and get stuck. Or else I was told the tow truck will hook your wheels and will damage them (and probably the axle too)

Sometimes at motorcycle trackdays and races, whatever bike(s) that've gone off track get left out there (if they're not in an impact zone) until the session or race is over.

Tow Strap
Amazing that some think a Tow Strap is a Cosmetic part for a car. Or that you get out of your car after an incident and attach it to your car. It's a required piece of Track Equipment that will save you car from needless damage if you break down on the Track.
