And then offer a complex, unnecessary contraption that limits the capacity to 3500 lbs, as they did for F15.
BMW seems to be unable to get the trailer towing system right. Both of my E53s had a 2" receiver sticking out in the center of the rear bumper, and safety chains were scuffing the lower lip of the bumper. In my E71, BMW had to cut the bottom of the rear bumper, splice a cable to add the wiring harness, and add a metal bracket to stiffen the lower lip. In my F15 there is a somewhat hidden receiver under the bumper, the actual 2" receiver connects to it, locks, which doesn't matter locked or not, still removable, so close to the lower side that you have to be careful not starch the paint on M sport bumper...
And every time they had to remove the rear bumper to do the work because there is no factory option...
Please, can you look at Audi, Mercedes, or an American vehicle and copy.
