The tow hitch is approx. $1200 installed and has electrical plugs for lights on the trailer.
Any trailer over 2,000 lbs will require you to put an e-brake on the X5. This brake will control the brake on heavier trailers. I have the hitch on my X6. The dealer only installes the hitch/electrical and updates iDrive. They do not install the optional e-brake component which will be required to tow larger trailers.

Do you guys know what happens if you do not reprogram the iDrive?
I have an X5 on order and am going to add a hitch after. I am planning on just ordering the wiring kit (pn# 71600413361) and for the hitch I am planning to get a bolt on hide a hitch. I was told the reprogramming was a full day of labor... Ouch. So If its just something like the parking sensors not being active in reverse, then I dont care. But if the reprogramming does a lot more, Ill have to rethink my plans. Any help would be appreciated. D |
