Recommended Tow Hook License plate Mount / bracket ?

Hey I got the 4 gran coupe coming in soon and thought I'd get a tow hook license plate bracket. Anyone have a recommended one that looks real clean? Pics would be appreciated. Thanks

I have one from US Mill Works (albeit mine's a 3 and not a 4, they also make them for 4 series as well)
Theirs is really nice, its been on the car for almost a year now and I haven't had any issues with it. These are also nice because it doesn't set off any PDC sensors and are highly adjustable. Super easy to use also!

I bought mine from Turner Motorsport. I also added the bracket that offsets it towards the Pass side more. you do need to be careful on exactly where you put it on a standard nose car as if you get too close to the front parking sensors it will squeal like a little girl. I had to change mine a few times to get it just right. I don't like how it is sitting now so I'm going to cut the bottom right hand corner off the plate to fix the issue.

Just skip the front plate, or if you can't use double-sided tape. The tow hook mount (and I've tried a few) just looks goofy and becomes a liability during an accident.

Or you could use this one:

I originally designed it for my E46 M3, but it works on all models now. It mounts under the bumper, so no holes in front.
