Aero Kit & Towbar
 
Can you fit the Aero Kit if you have a towbar? I did search but found nothing. Thanks

Should be able to.

No, they are not compatible. However, I think you may be able to tweak it and make it work somehow. of course you will have to cut a hole in the aero kit and you will need an extension bar. thats my guess.

I agree. They are not supposed to be compatible but I can't see why one cannot cut a hole in the Aero Kit to make it work. Should still be able to look good (except for the towbar :) ).

Look at the Aero Kit installation instructions on the X5world Home page for details of rear fitting.

I'm impressed! :thumbup: That looks really good!!!

Did you install the towbar and/or areo kit yourself? Was the towbar installed before the aero kit?

Now I want to do that...

Thanks

Hi, I had the dealer fit it, they send out the kit to be painted and the dealer fits the kit. Our dealer has installed quite a few so they have it down pretty well.

I got the dealer to fit the towbar at the same time.
With oem 20" wheels they change out the rear mudflaps again so to fit the kit. Not sure whether they come with the kit or there an extra.

That looks fantastic. Would it be possible to take a couple of closer pics up underneath so we can see where they cut the rear piece?

Yes, I would like to see more pictures from underneath too.

Can you confirm that that's a OEM BMW towbar (and would you know the part number)? I have seen the pics that Denalio had previously posted and it looks different to yours.

Can you please post your service centers information so that I can contact them and the person who did this? it looks great
