As it sits now, it's flush with the plastic trim inside the bumper cover.

Edit: is the owner of this car here?

Just installed today a CravenSpeed Platypus tow hook frame. They are advertising a specific 2020 BMW Z4 (M40i) configuration. Thought it worth a try!

EASY install and lots of clearance. I have since installed the plate (not showing in attached photos) . . . and NO sensor triggering

I contacted U.S. Millworks to advance recon their current model (I have one on my 2011 M3 E92) for the Z4 but never heard back so I went with the Platypus. Turned out to be a good choice.

CS Platypus quick release method is - for me - an easier method than USM. The Platypus provides a small wrench to slide back behind and loosen the bolt to the tow hook post. Just slide off and then slide back on. I always had trouble with the USM cotter pin quick release design (tight space and big fingers).

Turned out good!

Sorry - but I could not rotate the first image properly
