For what it's worth I like the execuhitch but there are other things funds have been allocated for (alphabet delete and tune), so I need to install a hitch on a budget. I'm planning to use the factory harness with module for camera hitch ball zoom feature but after that purchase and paying my local indy shop for install that's about the extent of funds I want to spend on a hitch. I'm also planning a 3m wrap sometime in the spring as the PO didn't take as nice of care of the paint as I would have liked, and I'm not interested in dropping 8K+ for a complete paint job.

Thanks for the feedback on my post guys, I appreciate the BMW community and knowledge available on the forums..

Cheers
