It may be possible that the hitches are available again. I called BMW of Bloomfield this morning and they still had two left. I ordered one of them online. However, in the meantime I got a shipping confirmation from Tischer BMW on the hitch I ordered from them last July! I cancelled my order from Bloomfield so there may be one available again from there. They said they have received a lot of calls on E53 hitches today. Also, Bloomfield said they are charging $550 shipped, although the web order shows it as $430 w/ shipping.
