Rear CF Diffuser + hitch/tow hook

Hello,

I have a 335i E92 LCI -11 with OEM M-sport rear bumper, looking like this:


I'm looking for a CF high quality replacement.

The thing is that my car is equipped with an OEM automatic hitch/tow hook/trailer tow (don't know the real name of thing-thing in english/american ) But I have a button in the trunk, when I push it the hook drops down.

An alternative with fins would be nice, but everything that acutally work with my rear hook are of interest.

I see some vendors reffering to "M-tech bumper", is that the same/replika of the bumper I have or is it an after market bumper?
Do all diffusers work with the hook or must I find a special one?

I've tried the search function, but didn't found anything about you guys using a hook. But I've read alot of cons with Duke CF, so Iäll look at some other brand.

Hit me!

I've found this CF diffuser in Sweden and seem to have cut outs for a tow/hitch.
But it do look exactly as the sstock, except for the carbon. Don't know anything about who is manufacturing this, or how the fitment is.

I can't be the only one with OEM electric hitch wanting a bad ass diffuser? Or is it uncommon in the US with hitch?
I looked under the car, and there is a cut-out in the OEM plastic diffuser, seem only from underneith not from rear, looks like the CF cut-out in the link I posted in previous post.
But I'm looking for a more aggressive looking diffuser, something like the RWcarbon or the DD.

I actually sent an email to RW, they couldn't remember installing a diffuser on a hitch equipped car so they couldn't tell for sure it will fit.
I've also sent email to DD and Arkym, still awaiting reply from them.

In canada (and I suppose the US) the car towing rating is NONE and i've been told (not looking to add a hitch myself) that adding a hitch to the 335 will void the dealer warranty as the car isnt rated for towing here ! Your best bet would be to verify with european forum as not a lot of people with hitch on their bimmer here !
