Towbar supplier

Post by BL02WAS » Mon Apr 04, 2011 10:11 pm

Hi all, just purchased a trailer tent for use in the summer. Only thing is I need a towbar fitting to the x. Can anyone put me in touch with a supplier who can provide the whole package for what I need??? I read somewhere you need to change the bumper carrier as otherwise the bumper won't sit correctly?? It will sag?? Is this true or do people not bother??? Much appreciated for any advice

Bought mine off e-bay, it is the same as supplied by BMW. This came with all the bits needed to fit it, including new bumper mounts. Took me about 3 hours to fit

Thanks for that but it's a little bit more than I really want to be paying. Any cheaper options ????

There's cheaper ones but they're not a patch on the Westfalia kit.

Try typing "E53 towbar" into ebay and see what comes up.
