I know Macht Schnell makes a red tow strap for BMWs. If you can find an adapter to accept the Macht Schnell tow strap on one end and attach to your OEM tow hook thread size and pitch on the other end, that might be helpful.

I'm not sure that would work with the Takata strap. The mounting bracket is different. You'd have it hanging out of the front bumper, plus you'd have to bend the bracket at a 90 degree angle.

I'm having someone fabricate a new bracket very similar to the one in this link to use with my Takata strap.

What you can also try is the following:

1. Drill a hole into the front bumper support, maybe on the bottom since the top is hidden by the front bumper.
2. Weld on a nut to hold the bolt in place.
3. Secure your Takata tow strap.

Horrible instructions but here's a picture LOL.
