If that piece just pops out, then I have it on my existing piece

And now to make you young guys laugh......what is fuh raze? I'm closing in on 50 and probably have another slang term for that. :D

Put a tow hook in there and drive it around like that.... call it fuh raze.

I did:

lol no, don't fill it in. Just go to the dealer or junkyard and grab the little plastic trim piece that goes there.

[danjrusdug]

Would you patch the hole if U were me?

To me it looks crappy. I'm sure there are other places to hook onto if needed. Thoughts/suggestions? What have others done.

Thanks in advance.

that's the tow hook threads. there's a small snap in piece of plastic that covers it when its not in use.

It's for a screw in tow hook that is stored in the trunk.

I recently purchased a 90 325i. The front bumper filler was cracked so I bought one on ebay. The one I bought had this square cut out, mine was not cut. What is this for? I see something poking out of the bumper in this picture I found on this site.

Looks like I might be doing some bondo work to get this filled back in before I paint and mount the piece I bought but I'm interested in knowing what it was for.

Thanks in advance.
