Thinking about adding a OEM hitch kit.

1) what is the tow capacity of the 4.8is?
5000 lbs.

I was told 8 hours at the stlr. about 5-6 DIY

3) I believe the parts are $450? right?
Depends, I paid $500, picked it up when I picked my 4.8 up.
I think Crevier BMW has them at $450

4) Any recommended independant BMW mechanics in Hollywood/Los Angeles/Burbank to install the kit ??
No idea, I'm in Chicago

- I know the recommended time for BMW to install the hitch kit is exaggerated. So, I want to find someone who will do it fast and at a reasonable rate.

Thanks.
