That one shows the "BMW" embossing but also carries the same part number from ECS. I think a call to the dealership to verify would be in order before purchasing.

Called the stealership. One in stock, he went to the backroom and confirmed.

It's just the smooth cover, no 'BMW' logo - search continues

Not sure the desire meets the cost but maybe this is what you're after?

That's what I said but I searched the number BMW (51-19-0-142-154) and it seems they are all $80.

Someone should make a complete cover using the oval cutout in the bumper. I would think they would look good. GM did it for their full size SUV lineup.

They do (BMW) - I have one for my factory hitch.

On my hitch (towbar as we call it here) the removable tongue pulls down, not out to the rear, leaving the original cut out completely clear, allowing the OEM bumper cover to clip right back in. Even the electrical connector sits back far enough for this...

All our class 3 hitches over here are solid and poke out several inches leaving the factory oval cover useless. I have never seen the one you are talking about, got any pics?

The local (BMW NZ) hitch very like the item shown in RealOEM, although the ball/tongue is welded (chromed) steel rather than a cast arm...



Sorry for the poor pictures - very sunny day!





The fine SS tracer wire is a pin retainer, although I cannot see it ever falling out. There is also a 10mm hex-head bold that holds the tongue (to stop it rattling - it carries no load).

It comes with a faux-leather bag to carry the ball/tongue in when off the car, although I have the cover plate in the bag as I leave the ball/tongue in place as parking-lot protection!
