Eberspacher Main Dealer and he said:
"Hi Robert
Price on the Westfalia towbar 303207 for an X5 BMW delivered to New york 11542 is £390.00 sterling.Approx exchange rate is below as is the link to the towbar.
Kind regards

390.00 GBP
=
654.731 USD
United Kingdom Pounds United States Dollars 1 GBP = 1.67880 USD 1 USD = 0.595665 GBP
HOPE THIS HELPS |
After reading this post, I contacted this seller and after a few emails, he stated that the Westfalia bar won't fit on US Spec X5. Now after reading antonye's post, I forwarded this thread to them and told them to pay particular attention to post 66.
I still keep finding sites saying Witter is cheaper than Westfalia, and as long as it can still tow the minuscule amount of like 800lbs compared to most of these hitches that do like 4000-5000lbs.
