X5 40d M Sport Towbar help
The only option I can find is one that needs a great big chunk cut out of the bar for the hitch exit. I've googled towbars and there seams to be options out there for this model but I can't find anyone. Any help would be great. I've thought about the Euro design towbars but the Ball down load max is 140kg. My trailer is 120kg. It is under but Im thinking it's a tad close. |

Here in the UK the M Sport has the Westfalia detatchable ball towbar, look on BMW UK's specing / pricing, as the SE has the electronic one.
The detatchable one i have seen on M Sports is undetectable when off, look on UK e bay theer is usually someone selling new ones for £300/ 350. The retro fit for both models is the detachable Westfalia. Ball size 50mm. |

Thanks for the reply, I do like this type of hitch but I'm concerned the 140kg tow ball down load isn't high enough.
Anyone else got a M Sport with a towbar. Pics would be great if possible. |

Check out the Excuhitch offerings. They have ons that do not have a bumper cutout.

Here in US you can buy hitches to X5 from etrailer (Trailer hitch, hitches and bike rack (800)298-8924). You didn't specify the model year, but here's their offerings for 2012 Trailer Hitch for 2012 BMW X5 | etrailer.com
As mentioned Execuhitch is another option None of the hitches above require a cut out in the bumper |

Hayman Reece make the towbars for the X5 in Australia under license, they are they only towbar that is ADR approved, if you get one from them or your dealer but you will still need to get the X5 coded by a dealer also.
