I paid half of the $1625 for the job and wi pay the rest once they find an adequate solution.
Oh man, that's terrible. And what a ripoff too. I can't see on what planet a hitch+install should cost that much. I believe you got "BMW Taxed" on that one.

Hopefully they resolve it, but based on what I've seen on other M-Sports, this is the standard and they may argue that. It'll end up being a frustrating case of buyer beware probably, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

We have an OEM hitch on our X5M and I wish that we didn't. It has been useful once or twice, but it does disturb the look of the rear "diffuser" area. I'd prefer a clean factory bumper over the cutout, but we bought the car used this way, so we knew what we were getting into.
