The Owners Manual gives the strong impression that there is a front bumper tow hook. There is even a picture with a highlighted area showing where the tow hook (cover) location is (or supposed to be).

Problem is, I'll be darned if I can find anything that matches what the the Manual picture is showing! I even tried looking for a "secret" compartment in the grill areas and no luck.

So -

1. Is there a front tow hook? Where can I find it?
2. Stop looking there is no front tow hook!
3. What options have others found for front license plate holder mount?

Since my wife will sometimes be driving the Z4 she insists a plate be mounted (CA). I have a U.S. Millworks tow hook mount unit for my 2011 M3 E92 and was hoping I could do the same with the Z4 but ?????

Really don't want to drill holes unless a very last resort.

And please, no one recommend that I divorce my wife and remarry someone more open to leaving the front license plate off. Not an option

Thanks!
not that my experience in Norcal will be representative but I have NEVER mounted a front plate since moving to CA in the early 90s and never had an issue or ticket. Other cars in the family have the front plate but I have never been able to bring myself to put one on my 2 door manuals over the years. But your cops down south might be meaner! recommend you try no plate!
