Anyone know where the F56 jack kit goes?

I pieced together a jack kit for my car, including the jack and bag that is available. Anyone happen to know where these hooks are supposed to attach? I didn't see any obvious spots in the trunk.

For my F55 there is a compartment under the trunk. Lift up the bottom carpet/floor and the foam for tow hook is there. May be the same for F56

Under floor is a foam storage area, but it is cut out for tools and not a bag. At least in my car it is. Never saw that bag before. Check realoem.com for drawings.

If that's an OEM jack that comes with the non-runflat option, you can order a foam molding to replace the one currently in your boot that will hold the jack, lug wrench, tow hook, and tire chock. Granted you order those OEM as well. That's what I did when I got rid of my run flats.

EcsTuning has the right foam when I was looking for one. Ended up just bagging it and wrapping a towel around it so it won't move around or make noise.

Hmm, I have no foam storage area. Anyone have a pic of what you're describing? My car came with nothing but a tow hook and screwdriver, and I'm working on adding in the necessities. There's an empty cavity below the floor under the lower level in the trunk does this foam piece go down there?

I have the insert with the tow hook and screwdriver in mine. Can't take a picture right now because my car is in the shop having a roll bar fabricated for it. If no one else posts a picture I'll take one next week when I get the car back.

Ah, neat. My tow hook just came in a little black plastic Velcro bag that was thrown in the trunk. I'd rather have a nice foam piece though
