[QUOTE=Diesel X5;18413995]27ft, just finished a 2200 mile trip. I love the trailer, but the usual problems existing towing with the M. I find my self driving too fast. I need to find good mirror extenders too.

I did the install myself with the OEM electrical kit and BMW charged me $310 Canadian for the kit. I had the two wires that go into the fuse panel and the module programmed by Ecuprogram Performance Tuning in Calgary. |

Thank you,
I was debating on getting those, but now that I know they are good I will buy a set. I found them on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-Genuine-...item19f5789019

You should center the weight of the car over the 2 axles. You can see in that pic how the front axle of the trailer is overloaded and i suppose your x5 has self leveling so it helps from sagging the x5 rear end. I have a very similar setup... love the trailex. |

I needed a bike rack for my boys since they are always wanting to bring their bikes everywhere. I got sick of carefully placing their bikes in the back. I found a used but unopened Curt Hitch on ebay for $125 shipped. Then bought an Allen Deluxe 4 bike rack for $100. Installed the Curt Hitch in about an hour. Great inexpensive solution for an SUV that didn't come with a hitch.

I think might not be a Curt hitch. Look slike the OEM hitch on a later model E70.

Anyone used the Stealth hitch?
https://stealthhitches.com/products/...2011-2012-2013 Looks pretty similar to some of the others mentioned in here, but I have a friend that knows the owner and am thinking of going for one of these. I will be towing 1800lb trailer and 2400lb race car + stuff |

Nice work. Never seen an E70 OEM hitch that didn't require bumper cutting? Perhaps not the case on the pre-LCI rear bumper?

I’m hoping to install my Westfalia hitch on my ‘11 X5 m-sport, but I’m having trouble with removing the rear bumper.
All help will be much appreciated! https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/show....php?t=1478227 |
