Relatively new owner here, have just had my car for 1 month, a 2017 F31 wagon. Flew half way across the country to drive it home, but very happy with it so far.

On my drive home with it, I noticed that the front bumper tow hook cover was missing (it had been there when I left the dealer the day before). Looking through the forums, I know I'm not the only one that has come out to their car missing one of these covers. Not wanting to buy a primer gray cover, I looked around and found someone on eBay selling paint matched covers for around $50. I have to say, I was nervous about how well the paint would match, but it actually looks really good! In the photo, I hadn't had a chance to wash the car yet, but you can see how well the paint matches. I did use a zip-tie through the diamond retainer to try and make sure I don't lose it again.

Not trying to promote anyone specifically, but wanted to share my experience for anyone in the future experiencing similar issues.

Was inter3sted but you didn’t take a pic of it matching. In last pic shown, body is filthy, part is at differnt angle mad not fully installed, amd even looks to be completely the wrong color. B39 is quite hard to paint match, the touch up paint from bmw is not even close.

My bad, I was excited when it came in and hadn't snapped photos of it once cleaned up. These should look a bit better, took right after a car wash.

Thanks, before it looked like it didn’t match at all. Nice find.
