What's with the little square shapes on the bumpers of BMWs?

Question

It's a little square shape on the rear bumper, usually near the exhaust on the BMWs. Anyone know what it is and why it's there?

Answer 1

Its the tow eye cover. If you remove it and take a look there is a thread inside. In your tool kit there should be a large bolt with an "eye" at the end. s***w it in the hole and you can be towed. One on the front as well.

Answer 2

It's either for towing or jacking up your car. your car should have a tool kit, and inside is a tool to remove the square. I wasn't sure what they were either at first!

My 3 series has the squares on the side to jack up the car to fix a flat tire, and my m5 has some on the back to tow the vehicle.

Answer 3
