Westfalia towbar.
 

I'm from the UK and am a 2 day old X3 owner. I wish to get a westfalia detachable towing bracket fitted because there is no cutting required. However all the suppliers say a bumper cover needs to be purchased from BMW. As my X3 Msport doesnt have a removable panel in the bumper like earlier models can anyone advise what this means.

This part numbers might help you.

FOR X3 VEHICLES WITH TOWING HITCH, DETACHABLE DIFFUSOR M-sport part no. 51123433424

TRAILER HITCH FLAP M-sport part no.51123414413

Many thanks for that prompt reply. Not sure whats what, but a diffuser suggests it could be a protection from exhaust heat so that could be what I require.

check out the link below to see the illustrations of the DIFFUSOR (No.6) and the TRAILER HITCH FLAP (No.7).
