Tow Eye Hook for F10?

Weird question, but I literally cannot find one of these online for my 550 F10. I can only find the cover, which I have.
Turner Motorsports has a rope, but it looks like I have to unscrew something to thread through the tow hook.
Is there not one made stock for our car that's just screw-in and screw-out? I would have thought so since there's a push-out cap in the front and rear bumpers.

normally the car comes with a tow hook, it is located in the trunk inside the tool kit. if yours is missing then you have to get one from Turner, trinityautosport, or any other retailers, or the dealer

Assuming you checked the storage box on the inside of the trunk lid and didn't find one? I would guess dealer can order one for you.

It's strange nothing shows up on online search, I've seen these two, no idea how good these parts or these two online shops are.

If you can't find yours, I think have an OEM one left somewhere and can sell it to you...

PM me if you can find it. Mybimmerparts.com has them for like $21 but if you have an OEM spare, I'll take it off your hands.
