I have never messed with tow hook holders.
When / if I need to put a plate up, I have always used heavy duty double sided type as they use in many European countries. Heck, that's how BMW delivers ED cars. My .02c Here is my old E92 at delivery.

It will make the sensors crazy. But I managed to avoid it by putting the license lower and aside a little.

I attached three neodymium magnets inside the bumper shell on my F32, then put a rubberized magnet (they make them for dealers to slap a plate on a car for a test drive) on the back of my plate. Takes only seconds to remove or attach it, and it's held over thousands of freeway miles.

I got it from ebay. Just search BMW G20 front lip. But I won't recommend this front lip, it's so crisp during winter and I broke it on the next week I installed them.....

Damn. 4 from the holder and 3 from the plates, from the looks of it. I’m afraid I’ll find something very similar when I take mine out next week to work on the grill.
The big holes can be filled using those bumper plugs for BMW. The small ones no idea. Maybe putty all the holes and repaint is another option? |

So, I went with the Platypus mount, and it is not tripping my sensors. It is not as solid as the US Mills mount I used to have, but it is doing the job.

I have mine affixed to the lower grille with zip-ties. Its a temporary solution.

Then I ordered a SlyBrackets plate mount that mounts directly on the horizontal slats. However, I didn't realize that the lower area also had dynamic shutters, so I had to improvise and science the bracket a bit. I just removed the big u-bolts with springs on them, and then used shorter bolts than what the package came with. Worked perfectly! |

Us Millworks license plate bracket?
wanted to ask if anyone with a G20 is using a license plate bracket from
US Mill Works? I'm currently using one on my F36 M-Sport, but I'm wondering if the bolt will fit the G20, and if not which bolt I should buy since US Mill Works hasn't updated their website or answers emails.
