Tow Hook License Plate Mount for G80/G82?

Anyone make a tow hook license plate mount for the new M3/M4 yet? I had a US Millworks on my F82 but can't find any brand for the new one so far.

There are a few in the works. EOS Plates has one for the MY21 G22, not sure if it fits the G80/82. Carbonio has a no-drill front-mount plate holder for G80/82. rho-plate also has a G80/82 mount, linked in the reply above.

Can anyone confirm if there are not any parking sensor issues?

I made a thread about this, rho fits like a glove no sensor issue. Carbonio doesn’t work if you have acc sensor.

You have to switch to shop USA. The link is for Canadian customers. US version is $109 USD plus $10 shipping

Just bought it myself

That US Millworks is a nice one too, too bad they don't have one yet.

I have the Rho mount and its awesome. Easy install, good quality and I like how you can angle the plate to your liking.

Honestly was never a fan of the off-centered plate but with this grill it just looks weird to me having a license plate dead center. Going the rho route once I accept delivery.

I installed the Rho mount and it looks good. The mount sits very close to the bumper but you can adjust the angle as mentioned above. I definitely recommend because of the build quality and ease of installation

Just got my new m3. Not keen on Bmw drilling holes in front bumper. Have gotten tickets in past with un-mounted front plate - several times at o'hare and less often while parked on city streets in downtown chicago. Therefore, looking for a non-permanent/removable solution.

Anyway, my new m3 has acc which complicates things. As of today or so, here are the options I know of.

Tow bar mount:
Rho plate. They have it in stock and I just ordered a kit
Eos. They are out of stock and haven't responded yet to my note asking when they might be back in stock

Other:
Carbonio. No go with acc apparently
Sto n sho. They do have a solution that mounts on the bottom of the front lip, but I think that might cause interference with the acc radar.

So, based on comments in thread, I ordered rho plate. Meantime, I am sharing the research I did to get to that decision and happy to learn what others are doing.

Good choice on the Rho. That’s what I just installed. No issues with any of the sensors or cruise control radar. I actually had an order in with EOS, but after weeks of waiting, cancelled, and went with Rho.

I too got the Rho plate mount. It's gotten good reviews here and it's built really well. I don't have my car yet, but I feel confident it's going to fit great and last.
