Towing wiring
 
I have been going bonkers trying to find the wiring. The Siemens module is easy to find, and I got it off of eBay, but the original BMW wiring harness seems to have been discontinued. Any idea where I can find one? I'd like to keep is as near to factory as possible. (Ideally I don't want to get a generic one and splice the wiring.)

Getting very scarce to find or find it in a salvage yard :dunno:

That's what I thought you were going to say! :( Has anyone looked at using the equivalent Land Rover part for the E53?

Hi ratpH1nk,

You can get the entire hitch with wiring here and sell off the pieces to recover the vast majority of your spend????

Might be the best short term solution if you are in a jam to get your hitch set up operable??????

ecstuning has them as well, I picked one up a while back for a buddy.
if your adding trailer brakes, you want to do some modifications to the plug, adding the brake wire and wiring pin.

A little on the pricey side, IMHO, but looks like it might be the right harness :dunno:

But one could sell the module to recoup some of the purchase price. :dunno:

I ended up finding a nice guy on ebay who was willing to break up the package and just sold my the wiring harness/receiver for $150.

These are very rare to find

Good Luck
