Question:
I have a 1998 bmw z3 1.9 with standard transmission. What kind of tow bar with base plates do you have for the vehicle. Do you have just the base plates for this vehicle because I do have an older fold away tow bar now.

Expert Reply:
The only option I could recommend would be a tow dolly like part # RM-2050-1 as long as the owners manual of your vehicle says it can be towed with one. Using a tow dolly is slightly more expensive that flat towing but there is much less hassle since there's only one part to buy and virtually no install time. Whereas a flat towing setup can be pricey and difficult for everything to install.
I really wish we had a base plate kit available for your 1998 BMW Z3 but I checked with our manufacturers and there are none available. None of them have any fits for your vehicle.
