BMW 3 Series 7 Pin Electrics (F30/F31)

7 Pin Kits

The socket has 7 pins, hence the name, if you are towing a trailer, cycle carrier or towing counterpart that needs power to lighting functions only, you will need a universal or dedicated 7 pin (12N) electrics kit.

Vehicle Specific Kits vs Universal Kits

The most obvious difference between a vehicle specific or dedicated wiring kit and a universal wiring kit is price with universal kits being cheaper in most cases.

We recommend dedicated electrics for any vehicle still under warranty as fitting universal wiring kits that do not specifically correspond with the vehicles electrical and wiring system will invalidate your manufacturer's warranty.

In most modern vehicles, a bypass relay s required when fitting universal kits to coordinate power between the vehicle and towing counterpart - we include a bypass in your kit for any vehicles that need it.

In some cases where a 7 pin dedicated kit isn't available for your car, we will provide you with an adapter so you can carry on using your trailer, cycle carrier or caravan.

Technical Key Words

We know that wiring kits can be confusing, and sometimes we use technical phrases and abbriviations that you may or may not understand. Here's our quick Technical Key Word Guide:

TP

TP or Trailer Preparation (also known as "Towing Preparation" or "Prepared Connector") just means that when your car was being made, the manufacturer added a special wiring connector specifically for towing - it is located at the rear of your car making it easier to fit the wiring kit. If you don't know if your car has TP or not, you will need to contact the car manufacturer.

Bypass

Only used on universal kits, a bypass is a box that allows the wiring to bypass the vehciles faults system when you install and cut the wiring loom on vehicles with CANBUS systems. We have included a bypass in your kit if your car requires it - make sure you buy the right year towbar to ensure you are getting the right universal electrics kit.

Excellent but if kit and easy to fit.

Fits great as you would expect since Westfalia make towbars for BMW. Only complaints are the electrics socket is very close to the lower edge of the bumper making it slightly awkward to connect/disconnect, and the rear parking sensors don't disable automatically when the trailer is connected without having the vehicle coded despite the advert stating that coding was not required. All in all a good product and I would still buy it again despite my comments above.

Pretty easy to fit, but i did farm out the electrics to a spark as i didn't want scotchlocks being used on my BMW. but happy with how it looks and works

Really good. I had the OEM electric version on my previous E91 - this isnt as good but it's close. Looks quality, easy to fit and remove, completely hidden when not in use and requires no bumper cuts.

Very good and would recommend

I bought this and fitted myself. It was very easy to fit. The fit is perfect with no interference issues with the car bodywork; this is unsurprising as this is the one BMW use as their own if you spec it or go to them for a retrofit. If you have a petrol model you need to add the exhaust heat shield bracket option and replace the existing exhaust muffler heat shield a special version from BMW and it will fit perfectly. The build quality is solid as a rock and the detachable mechanism works so well that it is a joy. I can highly recommend.

Fitted a detachable one to my new car. I had one on my old car so already knew how good they were. Very easy to fit and take off. Highly recommended.

Hard to fault or find anything to improve, the price was competitive, service was responsive and reliable, and the fitter was timely, friendly, and efficient.

brought towbar for a F31 and found very easy to fit, bumper is much easier to get off than the previous model. I also brought the deicated electrics kit which was also fairly easy to fit, there is a bit of de-trimming required but all panels are easy to remove and re-fit. Note than when connecting the data can cable at the front of the car there are 2 sets of cables that match the colour required, you must choose the ones that are tightly wound together, other than that it's straight forward.

Q & A

My car was registered in November 2014. Are there any visual clues to know which of the 2 electric kits I need?

Hi, I already have the detachable part for a Wesfalia tow bar (fitted to my e91 BMW last sept.) Are you able to supply just the bar and electrics for an F31 BMW 3 series touring minus the detachable part? Thanks Rich

Asked by Richard Ferris | 20/05/2016, 10:45 | 1 answer(s)

Is the heat shield required for the Westfalia detachable towbar on a 2015 BMW 335d? The install document reports it is not required only on the N47 engine which is the 4 cylinder diesel, but the 335d is a N57 6 cylinder. Many thanks, Mark
