Help finding part number
 
1 Attachment(s)
Okay so before you all say go to realoem and search. I have already done so and still can't find it. I know this is stupid little part but I want it for my tow hitch. I am looking for the hitch cap embroidered with 'BMW'

RealOEM.com - Online BMW Parts Catalog

#1 is no longer listed

I checked eBay and couldn't find anything either :dunno:

I may stop by the dealership to just see if they have one

May I recommend something to protect your bumper instead....https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c0140d3aa6.jpg

Does not have BMW on it?

I wonder if that's because they list it for e70 but not the e53. Maybe that was the change between models:dunno:

I wasn’t able to find any that said BMW, just “Genuine BMW” ones that were blank.

So I ordered generic blank ones on eBay for $3 each instead.

CleanIsFast 03-18-2019 01:31 PM

I'll keep the NY Giants one I have at this point then

That one shows the "BMW" embossing but also carries the same part number from ECS. I think a call to the dealership to verify would be in order before purchasing.

CleanIsFast 03-20-2019 12:05 PM

Called the stealership. One in stock, he went to the backroom and confirmed.

It's just the smooth cover, no 'BMW' logo :( - search continues

Overboost 03-20-2019 12:14 PM

Not sure the desire meets the cost but maybe this is what you're after?

That's what I am looking for, but what?? $80

The regular cover is $8

Overboost 03-20-2019 12:22 PM

That's what I said but I searched the number BMW (51-19-0-142-154) and it seems they are all $80.

F that. I hope to just find one on eBay for cheap

Someone should make a complete cover using the oval cutout in the bumper. I would think they would look good. GM did it for their full size SUV lineup.

They do (BMW) - I have one for my factory hitch.

On my hitch (towbar as we call it here) the removable tongue pulls down, not out to the rear, leaving the original cut out completely clear, allowing the OEM bumper cover to clip right back in. Even the electrical connector sits back far enough for this...

All our class 3 hitches over here are solid and poke out several inches leaving the factory oval cover useless. I have never seen the one you are talking about, got any pics?

The local (BMW NZ) hitch very like the item shown in RealOEM, although the ball/tongue is welded (chromed) steel rather than a cast arm...

Sorry for the poor pictures - very sunny day!

The fine SS tracer wire is a pin retainer, although I cannot see it ever falling out. There is also a 10mm hex-head bold that holds the tongue (to stop it rattling - it carries no load).

It comes with a faux-leather bag to carry the ball/tongue in when off the car, although I have the cover plate in the bag as I leave the ball/tongue in place as parking-lot protection! :rolleyes:

Wow, I have never seen that model. I always thought the class 3 we have here is the only option. I like that one but none of our accessories like bike racks that take the 2" receiver will work

EODguy 03-21-2019 08:44 AM

C-is-F,
I'm checking locally and in Dubai. I'll let you know what happens.

Looks like any 2" cover will work.

Did a little Amazon digging and found a few for you. Some are just "Perfect" :)
My personal favorite is the Mickey version....

I'm pretty sure you can get a fitting that terminates in a 2" receiver rather than a ball. Westfalia make this E53 hitch, btw...

Tried to find an image of the BMW > 2" receiver adapter but had no luck. Saw this hack-job though...

https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/p...wbar-Cover.jpg

Sorta works... :confused:

Overboost 03-21-2019 04:32 PM

Thanks Wayne. I never knew that existed. :thumbup:

All my searches show this for an E70. I can't find one for the E53 :dunno:
