Is the anchor point the transport tie down loop?I keep a tow strap in the trunk of my Audi A4, and have used it pull a couple stranded motorists out of a snowy ditch.
It actually works really well. It's AWD, weighs 3500 pounds, has a frame(well, unibody) mounted anchor point, and I run snow tires in the winter.

I'm sure it is. But the manual has a picture with an arrow pointing to it and makes reference to vehicle recovery.
Interesting, I am kind of surprised since most manufacturers run screaming at the first hint of anything involving recovery because of liability. I have a buddy who works for Audi, I will have to ask him about it if I remember.
I laughed this off until I broke a clevis pulling out a 15,000 lb bucket truck today. Snapped it like a twig.
I did not think a 7400 lb F250 would have enough traction on ice to break anything, but I was wrong.

Not much you can't move with log chains and a Hi-Lift jack.
I ran across this how to some years ago. It accurately illustrates the correct way to apply the practices pointed out in the previous posts. Quite the "Expert Guide".

I am very heavily involved in offroading and proper recovery techniques if anyone has any questions, just PM me.
If i had to give two pieces of advice it is this:
1) ONLY buy good, reputable branded products (No Harbor Freight or Rural King crap)
2) Use as little gear with metal as you can- I have soft shackles and synthetic line on my winch and kinetic ropes for snatching people out.
NEVER USE CHAIN and try to reduce using any metal D-Rings and Winch hooks (even with latches) as much as possible.
That’s pretty cool, most manufacturers seem to do their best not to provide a safe recovery point.It threads into a point in front or back for recovery. The A6 is the same.

BMW also includes the threaded point and a tow hook in the tool kit.
