Default Re: Tow Bar

If I remember correctly the E90 BMW requires the bumper to be removed to fit the bar. There is a small cut involved in the undertray to allow the neck to come through. The detachable (last one we fitted at work was a PCT) is nearly invisible when removed with only the breakaway cable lug visible. The socket plate flips down when needed. A seven way bypass relay is needed because of the canbus system on the vehicle. With the right tester these are not hard to do and the 12v feed can be taken from the battery in the boot. Just make sure any bar you get covers the M-Sport if yours is one as the bumpers are different at the bottom and not all bars fit. I think you remove the impact beam from the back the fit the bar in it's place.
