Best Front License Plate Holder ? For X4 G02

Hi guys,

I am checking the best plate holder in the market, some are pain in the ass, because I dont want to do holes in the bumber and the one of the Tow Hooks activate the PDC sensors a lot, so these are my 2 options maybe u have one.

I already have the US Mill Works in a MINI JCW and I loved it, have a lot of options to install to dont activate the PDC sensors and very good quality also the quick release option is great to take off the plate quickly.
But I dont see any puctures or something to know how is the look in a X4/X3 to have the plate in the hole of the Tow Hook and if this is possible.

The other option I dont know and never seen one in person but I found it is the STO N SHOW holder plate, only 2 options for the X4 G02, one exactly the normal one in the middle of the front bumber and I can install it there because my X4 wont have the big eye in the bumper of the Driving Assistant, is this one, also with quick release.

Let me know if you have license plate holder like these ones or what do u think, thank you so much!!!

I finally moved to a state without front plates, but before that, it was Sto n Sho all the way. Honestly, I don't know why anyone would use anything else. Simple, elegant, easy solution. I last used it on both my M4 and M5.

It's incredibly simple to use and when you remove the plate, there's a very small black block that's left, barely in view. It looks like a laser detector module. I found it and turned all my friends on to it. As I said, I just don't know why anyone would use anything else.

SlyBrackets license mount

I use the SlyBrackets 'No Drill' mount for my 2020 X4 M40i. Easy install, looks factory. Highly recommend! https://www.slybrackets.com/

I do not have the adaptive cruise so I can put it on the center of the bottom grille. If I did have the sensor, there's enough room to move it right or left. Here's a pic of how it looks!
