Sorry, you're right. I didn't scroll up enough. Would still like to know if done by stealer and what the cost was.

Regarding the rear sensors, it looks like they forgot to put them back in...

The work was done by a custom body shop that only does work on hi-line imports BMWs, Mercedes, Porsches, etc). He installed the hitch in order to do the custom cuts/fitting, but did not connect the wiring harness. The local BMW store performed that work...charged me for 4 hrs. labor to program it ($400). One note is that since my car is a 2008, the software kept crashing...they had my car for 3 days, but only charged for the 4 hrs that it should have taken. The service manager did tell me that they have a new server and software coming that will cut the time to 2 hrs.

As for the PDC sensors, they are there....my body shop left them the OEM black color.

strange, this looks like its an original part, made for the trailer hitch... looks too perfect...

guys sure that BMW doesent make Aerokit for trailerhitch:dunno:

The problem with this hitch is that there are no longer threads for you to put the tow hooks. But then again, I suppose they can use the hitch if the need arises...

Nothing wrong with the hitch, but the condom on it is a bit much IMO.

Man... I'd hate to be the guy sitting on the bumper and then accidentally slipping down... yyeeaaaooowwwwcccttcchhhh!!!!!!

acejam4 - do you have the part number for this hitch?

Just picked up my new M Sport X5 with towbar installed today!

How are you liking the Draw-Tite hitch? Do you have a photo of your installed hitch that you can post?

I got a quote today for $642 or half of what the dealers want for the OEM hitch. Seems like a good alternative, especially since the bumper doesn't have to have a hole cut out of it.
