Hi Everyone,

My e53 sadly didn't come with a tow bar and it's now something I want.

Seen a few used going on ebay but note that none of them come with the bumper reinforcement bar. Wanted to see if someone had one or was willing to do a full swap (+cash your way) for the full towbar and all other parts?

Thanks,

Neil

If you don't get anywhere try looking at the PF Jones website. Not cheap for the proper one and its electrics but......

OEM kits were Westfalia and PF Jones sell them for significantly less than BMW might want for the job (that was well above £2k last time I looked as a lot of the car has to come out if you do it their way, but not with the PF Jones kits.). I've never seen a kit without them as the whole thing usually comes complete with the bar as you have to remove the existing and it's all welded together.

I think I've still got a Witter towbar knocking around somewhere. I'll have a look
