Are there any updates on fitting either a factory towbar or aftermarket one that is suitable for trailing a car?
Keen to understand costs and recommendations in the UK only.
Thxs in advance.

What sort of weight are you towing? The retrofit towbars inc BMWs have a max load of 2000kg tow weight but a factory fitted one the load rating of the vehicle is increased to 2400kg.
Not sure if Westfalia do dedicated electrics for the X3 yet but they didn't in 2019 when i was looking. The official removable towbar though is made by Westfalia and that's what I went for with their electrics on my F11 a few years ago. I wouldn't fit any other no brand dedicated electrics and don't go with a bypass relay as the car wont realise you have a trailer attached (it changes shift points, DSC parameters etc with a trailer on).
www.pfjones.co.uk have great prices and a good network of reliable fitters in the UK.
