A recommended OEM product for the car. Totally invisible when detached and the electric socket folds away behind the bumper as well to preserve the un-molested look of the car. Hitch is easy to fit as the movement is vertical into the socket so no struggling trying to get the correct angle that some hitches need you to achieve. Quality is good and the wiring harness neat and the CamBus interface worked perfectly.

Very pleased with detachable tow bar and electrics for BMW X5
I have a BMW X5 M Sport 40D F15 model, I just fitted the Westfalia towbar and no bumper cuts was required, towbar is totally invisible. The answers to your questions are incorrect, you might want to consider updating as it was confusing to me at first.
Hi Marius
Thankyou for the information i will look into changing this on our website
Can i ask you send us some pictures so we can see that there was no cut and maybe use them with your permission if this i ok with you.
Kind regards

Hi Neil
We dont put part numbers on the website as they can change however if you ring bmw and explain your fitting a westfalia detachable towbar and you need the trim they will supply you the part number and price
Kind regards
Hi Chris,
Sorry we don't have any details about it, you need to ring BMW and ask them directly, I recommend you ring around different dealers and find the best price for it.
Thanks.

On a M-Sport the tow bar will fit but you will need to get a new bumper trim from BMW to hide the bumper cut. On all other models the bumper cut is not visible.
