mind if you could share the cost for adding the tow package to the build?

it was $550
the deletion is due to the trailer wiring harness from what i have heard, not the actual hitch itself. |
I had a 2019 X5 without the tow package. BMW quoted me $8000 to add the OEM version and $3000 to add the invisible hitch version. It requires the whole rear bumper and taillight assemblies to be removed.
I ended up ordering a 2021 with the tow package earlier this year. I am so grateful I missed most of these supply issues. I believe soft close doors and the heated and cooled cup holders were the only major things missing in March when I ordered.
