Hi,

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the F30 towing eye does not fit the N20 engines.

Anyone know which one is the correct one?

I went to my local breakers yard and tried a few BMW ones and only found this one to be a true fit which I think is from a bmw E46 range, but wanted to confirm before I support my engine on it.

I discovered the same thing when I went to do the timing chain on mine.

I ordered part 72-15-7-203-519 for that job because they could have it next day. My notes show e46, also, but realoem indicates it's part of the kit on e39, e38, e31, and a host of the Z cars.

Thanks for the reply.

I tried 3 different towing eyes and the old one seemed to be the only one that fitted. Bloody bmw

Good write up on the TC 👍
