My tow hook cover is missing
Somehow my front tow hook cover came off on my new m340i. Had the car parked at the airport for a trip, and noticed it was gone when I got home. Seems like that cover is pretty well secured and wouldn't have just fallen off. So either someone stole it, or it fell off. Can't really see why someone would steal it, I'm in a relatively small town but who knows. I live in a colder climate where temps are above and below freezing often, but I don't think that's the cause either.
Anyone else have this happen to them? Also, any suggestions on where I should go to order a new one? Thanks! |

Tow hook cover is removed for transport and reinstalled at dealer. Yours might not have been installed properly or maybe one of the tabs were damaged making it fall out more easily. Or it was stolen.
Dealer has this part. It's inexpensive but needs to be painted.

That's great information, I didn't know they used the tow hook for initial transportation of the vehicle. I'm going to give the dealer a call and work it out with them. Thanks so much!!!

Not sure if this will fit the M340i but seems expensive. This part should be $10-15. It is for the M package bumper. |

I had my tow hook cover fall off during a car wash and now its no where to be found. My service center is trying to charge me $51 for it which seems very expensive for no reason. I cant use the ebay link either since mines not a m-sport and has a parallelogram shape than the circle one.
Any idea how much your dealer would sell you one for? Just want to see if all dealers are charging the same $51 price or some charging how much they feel like. Thanks |

I had this happen about a month after I bought my 16 340i. Luckily it didn't fall off completely, but it was flapping in the breeze.
Dealer replaced it no charge. It did have to be painted. |

My dealer quoted me $50-70. The dealers here in NYC really sucks ass. By the way, one dealer asked for $51, called another one and they wanted $41 for the cover. Seems like dealers are charging what they feel like for this part. |
