Tow hook for F80?

Anybody know where I can find a tow hook to fit the F80? I've tried a few and it seems the standard screw length is 3.74 inches. These aren't long enough for either the front or rear.

It comes with its own tow hook in the tool kit in the trunk.

I got my M3 aluminum tow hooks at RW Carbon.

Thanks for the shout out. How do you like your tow hooks?

Most have been moving to tow straps:



Fits both front and rear.

Rennline makes the nicest ones I've seen, I've had them for years, indestructable and because it's stainless, no fading aluminum.
