Taking delivery of my car in december. Told the dealer I did NOT want holes drilled and I wanted to find a drill less option.

Looked on amazon and found one, but it says it WON'T fit F56. Anyone know if this is true? Anyone know of an option out there that isn't $85?

I think a little more info is required, about what is going to be fitted without drilling holes....a Polaris missile launcher perhaps!

A licence plate holder?

Sorry about that.
It is a license plate holder.

Aha. I would think you'd be able to use those sticky mirror pads. Think there are predefined holes in the bumper though there with small plastic inserts????(saw them on a bmw 1 but can't be sure 're mini)but you're only drilling the plastic

I'm not what part of the world your in. In the US there are a number of pieces made that screw into the front tow hook port so you will not have to drill

Here's an example of what I was looking at

Does it really vary that much between model years?
Where is the tow hook socket located on the f56?

I am purchasing this car overseas (Italy), but it's a US spec vehicle. If that helps at all.

Looks like a good idea. The towing eye looks as if it's in the same or. Very similar place on the f56

It looks like the manufacturer's website has the updated kit.

I am in the same boat as you I am waiting for delivery. I also asked the dealer not to drill any holes in the bumper so I ordered this as a front plate mounting option. They have two different options one for a standered position or an offset which places the plate more center a bit

Try This

I am in the same boat that you are in. Currently waiting for my MINI and also told the dealer not to drill holes in the front bumper. I ordered the Platypus.

Awesomeness! They have the europlate mount too!

Thanks for the help, and sorry about the lmgtfy.com simplicity of this issue:|
