F10 M5 Towbar

[cashmax]

Struggling to find much info.

Want to tow a trailer and Caterham next year to a couple of race rounds only and don't want to have to get another car to tow with. Is the M5 up to it and has anyone done it?

Lifted from elsewhere, but might help:

71.60.6.874.904 - Towbar assy.
71.60.2.357.457 - Retrofit kit.
71.60.6.872.319 - control unit.

Part numbers for the electric tow bar from BMW.

Thanks,

Just done the research and it looks like it will be cheaper to buy a half decent tow car instead. A shame because I don't want to do that, but looks like BMW spank you big style for retrofitting.

Had the dealer fit one to mine.

Tows like a dream.



I do get some funny looks though.

What was the damage?

Got Watling Engineers to fit the Westfalia removable unit in the end. They took a while because they hadn't done an M5 before, but managed it in the end and I'm happy. Total cost under £700.
