Tow Hook

Long story short, my X1 did not come with a tow hook. After more than several exchanges with the saleman, I am now asked to take a picture of the 'missing part area' so he can get the part.

Where is the tow hook supposed to be stored and did your X1 come with anything else re: being stuck on the side of the road or broken down?

Garage List
There's a black flip open bag with tools and the two tow hooks. Should be in the back with the battery

I think you guys in Canada get more goodies, but my "tool kit" came with only one tow hook, the wheel key, and one cheap screw driver. What is supposed to come in the tool kit in the USA?

That's correct. What would you do with a second tow hook? Draw and quarter your car?

You should also have the tool to manually crank the sunroof closed, provided you have one.

The wheel locks are dealer installed, so give them a hard time. Or do what any good thief would do and buy an 18mm socket and hammer it over the lock and remove them. You'll need four.
