2021 M550i Front Tow Hook License Plate Mount
Looking to purchase a Craven Speed Platypus Mount for my license plate. I have this product on my Cayenne S and works great.
Spoke to team at Craven Speed and they don't currently have a version for my new BMW as they have run into 4 different versions of the front bumper and have not been able to fabricate a product that consistently works. They have have emailed me instructions on measurements to take but my car does not come with spare tire kit and therefore I do not have a tow hook: Anyone used their product? Anyone have a spare tire kit for this car that could assist with obtaining info below: You can find the factory stud with the vehicle recovery equipment (jack, spare tire/inflation kit, etc.) Please note that sometimes if a vehicle is built in the US it will not have the threads behind the piece of trim. In order to determine if we have the parts to fit your 2021 BMW M550i , we will need the following well-lit photos of the factory tow stud: -ruler going lengthwise showing the overall length of the factory stud -ruler going width wise showing the width of the threads of the factory stud -factory stud installed into front bumper with a -ruler showing the amount of length the stud pokes out after being installed -front bumper showing where the tow provision is located and any surrounding sensors/cameras |

I got the Cravenspeed Platypus license plate mount for my 2021 540xi M-Sport, isn't it the same exact bumper on the M550? The stud (screw-in part) that came with the kit for the 540 was way too short. They sent me a couple of different sizes. The one that works best is HEX-K19R136-619, which is what I have now. Doesnt set off parking sensors

I got the US MillWorks lightened with quick disconnect, which needed them to send me a P8S bolt for fitment. Now it fits like a dream.
No hate for CravenSpeed either, just figured I'd put my info here in this thread for other folks looking for a tow hook plate. (My car is a 2021 M550i) |
