I've attached the installation instructions - not that I would attempt to do it myself - I recommend getting the dealer to do it, and code it properly into the ECU so it integrates with all the cars safety systems.

The towbar system itself is made by Westfalia (made in Germany) - and BMW supplies and fits this as their OEM, at least here in Australia.


I'm curious as to why you say this wouldn't fit the U.S cars?

..I mean our cars come off the same production line from Spartanburg SC?
