Calling Tony Blair now, he always seems keen to help. Can't believe that there is something that is only available in the UK and not the US. I thought it's normally the other way around.

Do you have a part number or something?

I think they do.

Mz3bo, have you asked your dealer about one?

It's just that no business that I know of is willing to ship. If you know someone, feel free to give the name.

Mz3bo, have you asked your dealer about one?

Dealer is positive, they do not sell parts that are not for US/CAD cars.

I still dont understand, why buy a UK towbar if it dosent fit a trailer in the US?

I have a witter detachable on my e61 sport and I wish I had paid the extra and purchased genuine. I am very surprised that many of the sellers on ebay wont send international but from experiance the cost of shipment to the US is prohibative.
