I want to fit a hitch to my 525d. My BMW dealer says there is no electric hitch available for the E60, only for the E90. Does anyone know an aftermarket one?
By electric I mean the hitch will swivel away by the push of a button so you don't have to manually remove it.

Never heard of an electric hitch. Must be a Euro thing. I think if I ever saw an E60 towing something I would cry. :'(

Only the E90 has the new electrically locked tow hitch

But as far as I know you still have to move it to the stow or extended position by hand, and then it locks in that position electronically

But it is nice in that it stows behind the bumper without having to remove anything.


The E60 one has a removable head
