VS Motorsports: Review of Macht Schnell Tow Strap
Recently, we purchased the new Macht Schnell Tow Strap for a customer. We were told that this may not work on the customers car because of the threading on the bolt (We were told that 08 and 09+ have different thread patterns) The customer gave us the thumbs up to order it and give it a shot.
Overall, we are very happy with the product, looks very similar to the BMW tow strap we use on our E92 Race car. There are two different option in color: Black and Red. Our customer had us order one in red and below are some pictures of the unit and how it looks after the install. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hopefully you'll never have to use it.
I've used my OEM tow hook as I took the tow of shame off of the track through the paddock in my E46.

For a nice clean look when you're not on the track and want to keep it there... Cut a slit into the OEM tow hook cover and have a small quarter or half inch stick out. Looks real good IMO.

They are $95 on their website. Isn't that price a little excessive for a strap of cloth?

Not to nitpick, but shouldn't a "review" talk about how the part performs? Where are the tow videos?
