What is this part?

Hi All,

New owner of a 40i, very happy with it so far. One thing though. Our car has the trailer tow hitch option and in the diffuser there is a cut out but there isn't a cover like I've seen in other vehicles. This is an Australian delivered model and apparently BMW Australia don't know about this part. See below.

Does anyone know what this part is called? Or have the part number?

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Looks like it's where the trailer electrical connection would plug in (for lights, brakes, etc) but I would expect there to be a rubber cover over it to protect it from the elements.

In the US, the connection has hard plastic spring tension covers to protect them. It is not a rubber plug, from the pic it looks like you are missing the actual plugs but I have no idea what Australia uses for connectors.
