On the US model, the wiring loom goes from plug on tow bar to an empty factory plug inside the rear of the car near the right side tail-light. The tow module plugs into a
separate empty plug on the outside of the battery cover.
Here is an OEM UK hitch on sale at Ebay..it includes wiring loom and module.
doesn't seem too pricey to me:

I have no idea what BMW UK did - quite possibly they imported the OEM unit made by Westfalia...

Thanks for clarifying this..I was unaware of the NZ OEM hitch.
