Yes, similar. Sorta. The ones on the side of the car are where the jack goes, and there are more under the car in essentially the same place that are used to hold the car to the deck of the flat bed truck if you need to have the car hauled somewhere for service. Do not allow the tow truck operator to leave the winch cable tight on these points while the tow truck is under way, especially if the tires are used as the anchor points for the straps. The suspension can allow the car to move about on the tow truck, and if the cable is tight on the eyelets, then the bumper can be twisted and yanked downward. Ask me how I know. |

There is a funny video on the internet at ebaums world, showing some drunken
teenagers attempting to pull a car from a snow bank. I suggest people go and watch, it's quite funny as they rip the back end off the car in the snow bank. Glad it wasn't my car. > wrote in message oups.com... > What is the purpose of that small (2-inch square) indent in the rear > bumpers of BMWs?

An operator left the cable tight, and the bumper was yanked downward as the
car bounced on its suspension. "Dori A Schmetterling" > wrote in message ... > OK. > > ? > > DAS > > For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling > --- > > "Jeff Strickland" > wrote in message > ... > [...] > . Ask me how I know. >> >> >> >> > > |

No real damage, just a bit of ugliness that could easily have been avoided.
