    Its called a towing eye cover , The last time I bought one it was around £15 stg (Bavarian Belfast)(Europarts Belfast) , but it also needs painted as it comes primed. If you are getting a new one from a dealer ,ask if it can be got painted , but it doubtful.:cool:

    Alternatively you can use this. Very effective as it sends your query to many BMW breakers in the UK
