I actually thought of taping the entire plate to the bumper as a temporary solution but I wasn't too comfortable with the plate coming so close to the bumper.
As for the speed test, I tested at about 120 km/h on a highway but that's about as fast as I'd go. For now it looks like everything's holding up.

That was my initial idea actually, but after some reading it turns out that BMW uses a proprietary thread pattern. I'm sure you could bring in your tow hook to a some metal shop and have them custom thread it, but then we'd be talking about much more than $5

one question what size drywall anchor did you have to use? |
Good question, sorry I didn't mention it in tut.
It was a 1/4x3 toggle bolt anchor.
