Im thinking about buying a e53. But the owner says there is no hook. Is it possible to buy it? does hook fit all e53’s?

In the states the factory kit is almost impossible to find. That said there are aftermarket kits. Its not that hard to install those.

 When I read your subject line...I was thinking of the towing hook eye...not the trailer hitch. So I was prepared with this:

If you are towing light trailers you don't need the factory tow package (that incorporates the trailer brakes into the DSC/ABS program). It's quite pricy to buy after the fact.

 And I'm guessing that the word "hook" in this case is a somewhat literal translation from Icelandic!

It also controls the electric brakes of a traiker if it has them

Information from the 1st Page of BMW’s Tow Bar Installation Instructions: "A connection pin for retrofitting (electric brake) is provided on plug X393S. If an electrical brake is desired for the trailer, it can be retrofitted. For the latest list of recommended brake controllers contact BMW Service Hotline. The signal pick-off for brake (the input to the brake controller) may only take place on plug X12, Pin 10. This plug, X12, is to the Light Control Module (LCM), the wire color is black and yellow. The male pin (BMW P/N 61 13 1 376 195) should be used at the mating plug of X393S. Be sure to observe this information." There's also a lot of lighting connections between the car, the trailer module and the LCM. The trailer module performs the "check control" functions for the trailer lamps and passes this info on to the LCM. The LCM also possibly passes a "trailer connected" signal to the DSC/ABS to enable the DSC towing mode.
