Bosal Towbar?

Post by shadrack » Sun Jul 19, 2015 9:13 am

anyone got one of these, on pf jones they seem to be a great price £150, was going to get this and the dedicated 13 pin electric kit that does all functions £310 for both, or are the witter/ westfilia worth the extra £60?
Oh and the cheapest bosal is listed as no bumper cuts, the other two are saying non visable cuts but thats still cuts, and all have same 3500kg rating

stick with dedicated electrics for deffo as for towbars.  westfilia are bmw factory fit, witter and westfilia are both top brands. My eyes you get what you pay for that's just my opinion like. Bumper cuts are minimum can not been seen.
Are you going fixed or detachable?

I'm going detachable, i'm getting the dedicated electrics, I had a witter on my e53, however when I googled bosal they manufacture for alot of other parts inc towbars for other brands just not bmw so wondered if antone had tried one
