Towing

Does anyone here have a towing package on their X-6? I would like to be able to at least tow my motorcycle sometimes.

I initially found the European Hitch which is what I prefer, however several dealers I called both here and in Canada said it was unavailble in North America I had the dealer order the U.S. model and they will install this week. The cost was $900.00. I am told that the entire rear facia must be removed. I will post pictures when I get it.

I had a similar discussion with my dealer. They apparently can't order the European (hidden) type hitch here (more like they don't want to and didn't even try since it is MUCH easier for them to sell you what they have or know...)

In any case, bak is right, the bottom cover of the rear bumber (silver/gray) plastic part apparently needs to be removed to install that ugly trailer hookup. So I am reconsidering about getting a tow hookup for my X6 when I finally get it...

Price was quoted to me to be about $875 as a dealer installed option.
