f10 towbar fitment recommendations in Durban

[hansi06]

I require a towbar for my 530d, mostly for a bike carrier. I'd like a detachable one.

I have contacted Towrite, but they only fit fixed ones.

Any other recommendations?

When I wanted something similar I went to the Thule shop in Boksburg and they sorted me out. No welding or any funny business, just bumper off.

My advise is to call / visit Thule (outlets shop with bike racks)

You can also call brink for overall advise and they may direct you to an agent (they don’t sell to the public).

My bro-in-law wanted to fit a towbar on his 18d, and he ended up going with Brink. He got the non-detachable option because it was at a great price, there was another option to detach the actual to hook manually and out it away easier only use when needed. Try them out and check.

I just feel a fixed towbar will spoil the back of the car,😅.

There was about R2k price difference between detachable vs non-detachable so I ended up going with non-detachable. The detachable needs to be stored somewhere and I already had a subwoofer in the spare wheel well. Having to leave it at home just seemed like silly.

Unfortunately Brink doesn’t do electric folding as a aftermarket option. Audi quoted me R18k for that .

Depends on what you eventually go for. The Brink / Thule ones look cool - at least that’s what I want to believe.

Fixed is fine for a SUV. On a 5er, no.
