Hi does anyone know of a tow hook license plate holder for this, or any universal ones that would fit snug.

I'm also looking for floor mats like from weather tech but it seems like this car is so new there aren't many modding or upgrading options yet.

And where are the after market carbon fiber side mirrors and front grille and front lips?

Thanks.

I really hope I can avoid drilling front bumper.

Tow hook holder = ugly as(s) hell!!!

Who cares about drilling into the front bumper... once the plates are mounted, you'll never see the holes again.

Otherwise slap on double sided duct tape. Or velcro.

Yeah, I don’t get it. Can someone explain? Why is it a big deal to have a license plate affixed to a bumper as it has been for thousands of years?

I agree it's ugly and it makes the front of the car look uneven cause it's not symmetrical anymore.

It's just that this is the opportunity to get it cause it's a brand new car.

Can someone tell me where this front tow hook is located?
My user manual shows a different front bumper. I assume this is X-Line, rather than the msports...

There's arrow/triangle mark on the tow hook cover (See Photo 1) and if you press, push, apply pressure at the that spot, it'll pop open for access.

Photo 2 is my X5 with cover removed. The large round threaded slot is the tow hook receptacle.

Just make sure to slip the retaining strap in the green marked slot then insert the left side of the cover first then press the right side in to snap it into place by aligning the tow hook cover retainers with the two slots in the frame.

Thank you.
