BMW are importing the cable and switch boxe so the only way you are going to get a towbar is from BMW I would say.
Hayman Reece may after a period of time sell the towbar but you still need the switch box.
By the way the switch box is only a $30.00 part but BMW will mostly charge $900.00 for it? The towbar is probably only a $500.00 part as was the towbar for the old X5.

US Retail is around $510 or so.. so I will have a BIG problem if the cost is more than $1000 fitted.. We'll see what happens.. I don't need one now it is just in case as I often have the need to tow trailers etc... and maybe one day will get a boat !!!
