X3 Performance Towbar: Fitted

[Twinz]

Okay so the word performance is the only way to get you peeps to look at a towbar review. :rollsmile:

Glad I finaly fitted this but did not want a permanent fixture on the back of the vehicle so I got this approved, removable kit from BMW and installed at the dealership.

JOB DONE:

THE HEAD CAN BE REMOVED:

A VIEW FROM BELOW:

CAN BE LOCKED:

CUTE BAG FOR STORAGE WHEN NOT IN USE:

TESTING:

Not all things work out well. Hooked up the trailer and the trailer lights refused to come on. Tested with another trailer and same thing. Back to the dealer to have the towbar module replaced, and another few days of waiting for this part to arrive from Germany. :bangdesk:

Update 22 Jan 2013
Towbar reprogrammed and is working perefectly:thumbs:

Aah at least it was not a completely frivolous thread :rollsmile:

If you don't mind, what was the cost?

 

[Twinz]

At least R9,000 including fitment.
