Default I dont have one of those

Oops, yes, I shold have said it is a D3. Unfortuantely, I dont have an insert at all. I have found pictures of an A4 insert or a BMW one, but cant find any part numbers.
These are the ones I have found in picture, with the BMW one looking like the best fit

Default answer to my own question

Well, I may have found a BMW solution - it helps to find out that they call it a towing coupling, rather than a hitch, or towbar.
So searching RealOEM I came across the "Ball Oddments Box" for a 3 serries
Item 6 on the diagram
I would still rather an Audi solution, but I'll see what BMW will charge..

There is a wheel insert for the D3 that takes the towbar (Mine has one).

looks like either item 15 or 15a (sorry to be a bit vague but audis descriptions are a tad confusing -

15 - 4E0012109B tool box / for models with breakdown set

15a - 4E0012109A tool box / mounting for trailer coupling ball

16 & 17 are their respective covers -

16 - 4E0012116A cover for spare wheel well with tool tray / for models with breakdown set

17 - 8L3012116 cover for spare wheel well with tool tray
