Hey James and Mark,

If you have not ordered your hitches yet let me give you my .05 worth. I installed a Drawtite hitch which is a real heavy duty 2" receiver. It was less than $200 bucks including shipping. I can email you some picks of how I cleaned it up by trimming the plastic oval piece. I mostly use my hitch for a bike rack but do use it to haul the dirt bike on a trailer to and from Colo where my son lives. I have not yet installed a light plug but hope to do that over the winter cuz the CO highway patrol would definitely ticket me with out trailer lights. If you are interested let me know and I will email you a couple of pics of what mine looks like.

I'd say post pics here just for the heck of it.

I would but first I have to find the pics somewhere on my office pc and since I am so pc illeterate, I am not sure how to post pics on the forum. If you give me a few days I might be able to figure it out. I can email them much more quickly if interested or I can email and you can post if that helps.

Hi M5James,

I don't have pics here on my lap top so will have to send them from my office pc. Hopefully I can find time today. If I can't figure out how to post on the forum I will email them to you.

hello all, been tracking the posts on the euro hitch topic and decided to do some research of my own. i called a couple of places in the UK. towequip which is a large retailer of tow bars as they call them said they dont ship to the states, so don't bother with them. then I spoke with a guy named Gary Bailey from PF Jones Witter Tow bars and Westfalia Towbars, Price Promise all Tow bars. 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
Gary Bailey
