Tow hitch cover
Hi all,

I've not long had my 2006 4.4 X5. Noticed the other day, that 'someone' has 'borrowed' my tow hitch cover. I would like to replace it, for aesthetics and wanted to find out from the collective knowledge of others, where I might be able to order one? Shipping to Australia is required, and so far those that I've found on the internet, limit shipping to continental US only. Any help would be appreciated.

I have one of those in the garage that I purchased and then didn't care for it since it was metal on metal and required the pin to be used. I ended up purchasing a Rondell and super gluing it to a generic rubber cover.

It's a mis-spelling. It should be Roundel. The BMW logo is a roundel.

Okay - now I'm with you... So you purchased a rubber/plastic hitch cover and a BMW Roundel (emblem), super-glued it to the cover and voila. Not a bad idea. I must somehow make whatever I purchase as a replacement for the original hitch cover, tamper / souvenir proof, as I don't want to be going through this exercise on a regular basis.
