Is your tow hook missing?
I noticed that my G80 didn't come with a Tow Hook, but the dealership ordered one for me. However, when it came in I went to place it in the tire/tool bag I noticed that it didn't fit the molded area where it should go. My salesmen speculated that the car never came with one in the first place.
Has anyone else noticed that their tow hook is missing? Last edited by biomedic6288; 03-23-2021 at 01:18 PM.. Reason: better title |

It absolutely came with a tow hook. The roll on/roll off vehicle carrier ships all use the tow hook as a tie down point for the voyage. The tow hook should have been put back into your trunk. Should check for this always when picking up a new vehicle.
Additionally, aside from the obvious of checking all painted surfaces for scratches, be sure to carefully check the side mirror turn signal lenses for hairline cracks (they fold the mirrors in but the vehicles are quite close during shipping). Bring along a small powerful flashlight and a microfiber towel on delivery day and a second set of eyes on your team is quite helpful.

So I had this problem as well. Went in to my detailer who couldn't find the locking wheel nut as it wasn't inside the bag in the cut out made for it. I contacted my dealer and they said it's in a different place for some reason and is the case with all G80/82 they've had through. In the boot on the left hand side, there is the storage compartment retained by mesh. The floor of this compartment is removable and it is under there with the towing eye. Hope that helps.

This is exactly where I found mine. I think it is too long to fit the pump bag.
But I’m missing the bmw useful screw driver! Not more tools! Anyone else? |

I dont even know how the hell to get the bag out of the trunk. Its like strapped or stuck in the left compartment.
Edit, it is indeed strapped. No lug nut key or screwdriver though...

Yes. That's the mobility kit. I have that, but I expected some sort of pouch with a crappy screwdriver or something similar. What color are your wheels? Mine are black and I wonder if there are no keyed black bolts?????

In jet black also. There is a tool kit cutout in my mobility kid which clearly shows the mold for the screwdriver and lug nut key but neither are present
