Any market for non-tow package bumper parts.

[RobertV]

The 04 X5 4.4 went back, I had the tow package installed and have all of the parts to convert it back to non-tow package.
Is there much of a market for the parts?
If so, what are they worth?
TIA

Good question... I've got my non-hitch bumper stored away as well.
(Along with my stock 4.4 sport exhaust, and my stock 'running boards')

I just donated mine to the local metal scrapyard. Didn't even want the whatever cents per pound they offer......Space in NYC is a premum !

I have a set up over the garage as well. I see them on eBay now and then, but they never seem to sell.

I might be interested in seeing what you have. After using my tow point and my tow hook to pull out some bushes and trees, let's just say a replacement might be in order. Things seem to be a little bent down there, and I'd like to see what it would take to replace things. I might, however, end up getting the hitch myself. In that case it wouldn't matter, right? I'd still be interested in knowing what I could do.

Here's what's basically left after doing the hitch install

I would probably just be interested in the top most part in that picture, that is the one that contains the tow point attachment right?

I tell you, that would be a tough part to bend. It's held onto the back of the X5 with about 12 good sized bolts spread across the whole member.

it was a pretty big bush, that I was pulling out going down a hill... how stupid I was when I first got my car. Everything else faired fine, except that is, for my tow hook and that part, and the bush. The beast that is the x5 murdered the bush!

Here's a set on eBay for $25 plus shipping - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-X...spagenameZWDVW
