Westfalia detachable from E70 compatible with E53?

Post by LeotheLion » Tue Aug 19, 2014 10:45 am

My first first question to the experts on here.. does anybody know if a Westfalia detachable towbar taken off a 2011 E70 will fit into the westfalia kit on my facelift E53?

I want to fit a cycle carrier, not to tow anything if that makes any difference to the answer.

Cheers!

Not according to Westphalia it doesn't.  Different part numbers.

Thanks Richard. Westfalia UK have told me that I would need the specific attachment for the E53... I was hoping that the rear bumper shape wasn't too different as I have seen an E70 one on the bay and dont fancy forking out £250 for a replacement part from Westfalia!

Just got to wait for the right one to come along.
