It it possible to fit a detachable tow bar to a BMW 335D M Sport Touring (F31/2016) in a way that does not need a bumper cut

Question

I have a lease BMW 335D M Sport Touring (F31/2016) and I am not permitted to alter it without reparing any changes.
So, if I fit a tow bar I have to remove it at the end of the lease.
I've asked various dealers and I get conflicting answers.  Having to replace the bumper would be a costly extra.
Can it be done in a way that definately does not need a bumper cut?

I've reviewed installer diagrams for many towbar manufacturers (as far as I can tell all of them) and found only TWO that do not need a bumper cut on this vehicle IF the vehicle is not fitted with an rear undertray (which can be removed anyway).
Solution 1: BMW do a retro fittable factory kit but it's VERY expensive.
Solution 2: A UK company, PCT do a kit (BM6135A) that is more sensibly priced.
