UK Tow Bar Options

Who has had an aftermarket towbar fitted to their X3M?

All the usual suspects listed on line only show fitment for G01 and not any model variants. (suggesting they fit ALL models?!?!?)

Even my local towbar fitter isnt sure they fit

You can read my impressions of the stealth hitch here. Mine is a US model, but I ran a European hitch. The problem you may run into is the electrical connections. European connections have many more pins that US (sperate blinker and brakes for example). Might want to inquire if stealth hitch has an electrical kit for European hitch wiring. The physical hitch itself is awesome.

I got the stealth hitch on my X3M and it was fairly easy to install by myself. Their instructions are pretty spot on. Took more than the 2.5hrs the instructions say it takes, but I took it slow so I didn't break any tabs and such.
