Popular with the WRX crowd. Not sure the mount hole is the same size but a place to start looking.

Bimmian has one in the 2-series section. Don't think it's the best looking one out there but it'll definitely fit.

Best plate on the market, CNC milled and everything

http://www.usmillworks.com/bmw_front..._tow_hook.html

The best part is that each plate is specific to the options on the car. For example the tow hook plate for a E82 128 and a 128 with M sport, is different

Just ordered mine with quick release. Looks like it's available only for 2 series without the parking sensors.

Is it the one that Turner offers? I've used this across 2 of my cars and has held up pretty nice.

These are good for the cars that don't have the park distance control. Any suggestions for those that do? Is drilling holes the only option?
