There are many parts in OE hitch. You need all of them - can you pull all parts? Then go for it. The list and pictures of parts involved are in this thread

Like the guys said above you really need to make sure all the parts are there. Is it a factory hitch? It seems odd that someone would take the time to remove one after it was put on. Its very involved and unless the car was being parted out they would have to source a lot of parts to put it back together again.

Anyone had luck recently finding an OEM hitch? Ebay shows nada thus far :-(

Check this out http://www.xoutpost.com/1025733-post10.html I just fitted my E53 with an aftermarket Class III hitch from eBay costing about $110 but the tricky parts are the trailer module and wiring harness. My posts show the Westfalia wiring Pn that you seek for seamless connection to the factory wiring block. Ebay has quite a few serviceable trailer modules that can be bought from ~455 to $95 or so.

You might want to try another dealer. Mine had no problem ordering it. They didn't make it seem like anything unusual. If you want to try Jon at Tulley BMW in Nashua NH tell him Brad from next-door at the bank sent you. Good guy i think it cost me about 400 bucks. I can't imagine what it would cost to ship this sucker. Its huge. I would be happy to bring it to UPS for you though.

I think that's the ticket - you have to find someone to care enough to scour inventories everywhere. I just happened to ask the right person and they found one at a dealer 2h away. Previous attempts all came up "sorry, we're all out and so is BMW, and they're back-ordered". I kept on looking and asking and 3 months later found one. Wreckers were useless - they all said they were original BMW hitches. Most weren't and the ones I found were shot (need full sandblasting and powder coat) and missing a lot of the parts/wiring.
