I am amazed how different the condition of the frame supports is.

I looked for the PN unsuccessfully and could not find it before I got this.

The other side is hard to read but has the same BMW PN, the Westfalia number is only different at the end, it is 110.

Haven't cracked open my box to see if it has new bolts in it. I paid $491 plus tax for mine. PM me if you need me to check and measure the bolts for your use in id'ing replacements. I've purchased from boltdepot dot com in the past, a good source for quality fasteners once you know the sizes needed. The parts list in the BMW instruction .pdf gives the sizes and locations, if you haven't already noted ..... the .pdf is attached to the first? post in this thread.

I forgot they were there, I planned to jump in find what was missing and take what I had to Home Depot & was worried about the mess I'd be in. I am going to email boltdepot.com that picture & ask for all of them.

Did I miss any?

Thanks!

Beats me, I haven't even opened the box yet! You might want to PM X5Boise, the original poster, to double check the parts list for fasteners and see if he has any additional tips. His write-up in the first post is very clear and I expect helpful .....

e30cabrio 12-11-2013 04:03 PM

If you could look I'd really appreciate it.

Riggodeaux 12-11-2013 04:09 PM

I'll PM you when I check the box X5Boise's initial post should provide a second checklist.

e30cabrio 12-11-2013 04:29 PM

I went through page 1-3. It seems that lists them all. When you can I'd appreciate if you could look at the list & what you have & conform. I won't have my hitch back for at least 9 days so there is no rush.

The harness & bumper support came yesterday.

It attached to the Pollak socket perfectly.

This damn thing is the last piece of my puzzle and seems impossible to get.

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...psbe251481.jpg

Anyone have any idea where I might find one?
