Front tow cap...where to replace?

i called the dealer..told me around $60 to replace it, and i have to go there to pay up front.

Welcome to the board!

I am guessing since they have to order they want payment up front? Dont think you have a choice but to pay and wait - not sure if another dealer may have one?

I think they make you pay up front because they have to get it painted. Those parts don't come painted from BMW for some reason....

Happened to my 328xi. Not sure if it was stolen or just popped off after two years. The garage ordered the wrong part (sedan instead of coupe). The guy went away and came back with the correct, painted part but it was obvious he'd taken it from a car on the lot (evidence of dust). Got it for $50 (painted). Have now put silicone glue around it on the inside to reduce likelihood of losing it again.
