Euro Hitch Pictures
 

I found those pictures on a french forum (www.mabm.fr).
The Euro Hitch is much nicer than the US version (sorry guys!:nanana: ). It is not visible when removed. The Plug can rolled back under the car when not used.

What is the load capacity?

The X5 commes in standard with 2.7 tons but you can raise it to 3.5 ton (free option) if you have the 20" wheels.

Sorry , to raise the load to 3.5 tons you only need the self leveling rear axle (220) .

The European hitch is pretty, but comes in one size only, with no possibility of change. It is 50mm, which is almost but not quite 2 inches. It will work, but if you need a 1 7/8 or 2 1/4 ball, you are out of luck.

could it be that we cannot put the chain between the trailer and the truck ?

I know this is old but can someone take a picture with that red cap off? and is there any info weather this could be put on a NA version x5? looks so much better then what we have
