Based on the part "Original BMW Accessories are warranted for the New Vehicle Limited Warranty period (4 Years/50,000 miles) when the installation occurs before the first delivery of a new vehicle.", it looks like a dealer add-on, but then it may be phrased that way to cover either situation.

The BMW USA site shows the kit costs $700. I'm guessing that is without installation costs. Whoever takes the plunge first tell us how much the install was!!

This is good news. I was going to get the Execuhitch but now that this is finally out I think I will play it safe and get the official BMW hitch. Especially since it states that it integrates with park distance control and the stability control systems.

I would be curious to know the parts pricing breakdown. On my last vehicle (Acura RDX) I bought an aftermarket hitch (made by the same company who fabs the Acura hitch) and then bought the Acura wiring harness. This allowed me to save a few hundred dollars on the hitch, but get the plug-in harness made for the car rather than using a generic converter and splice job. I'd be inclined to do the same for the X3 since BMW's pricing is in ripoff territory. Keep in mind the Curt hitch is only $120-130 online.

well, to see that I will need to connect a trailer electrically. My guess it will be a view of the connection to the trailer. Also, system automatically immobilizes rear-PDC in this case. Not the case with a regular bike holder attached to the hitch.

Yes, thanks for posting the pictures. It does look very solid and I am pleased that it has the removable design, so that there is nothing sticking out when not towing.

Thanks so much for posting the photos. I am not sure what you mean by the statement above. You cannot use the camera for backing up with a trailer attached ??? |
