Some idiot in an 05 ML just backed into my 50i last night. Thank god all he did was damage the lower piece of the front bumper. I thought for a second the fenders would have to be taken off. Glad to see this section can be removed.
Ok, so i made it back fine, got the truck somewhat cleaned up and took some pics. I still have to finish relocating the trailer light harness into the lower piece of the aero kit, but I ran out of time. I'll post pics of that once I get it done. I have also attached the installation instructions for the OEM BMW hitch and wiring harness. I didn't acquire this myself, but I forgot where I found it (on another forum somewhere) so when I figured it out I'll edit this post to give them credit. It will give anyone else all the info they need if they want to order and install the hitch themselves (and probably do a better job than dealership). Ask Gene and Marc, when they installed his Aero Kit and hitch, they choose not to re-install all the screws for the bumper. All you'll have to do it get it reprogrammed by the dealer before you tow anything heavy. Well I gotta go to dinner with the wife, but I'll post more later.
