Sorry to resurrect an old thread,

The prior owner of my X installed a "Genuine BMW Westfalia Hitch". The receiver has a peeling sticker with a BMW part number. There's a covered connector next to it for the wiring harness adapter that's in the glovebox. It looks very OEM.

What I don't know is if the BMW brake controller was installed, was already present, or is missing. Planning to tow my F30 this summer about 400mi to my new home, after towing a rental box trailer with my crap prior. I really don't know anything about towing to be quite honest, but I will have to learn.

Seems it wants a drop hitch, 4"? And towing weight I've seen as either 5,000 or 6,000lbs for a manual 3.0.
