E39 Towbar Info Wanted

Recommended Posts

So Dad has given me the nice holiday task of finding out about getting a towbar on his '01 530i and organising/overseeing/doing it.

He has found a towbar at some random wreckers, minus wiring loom. Can someone please explain to me what exactly is required for the complete towbar in an e39? I have searched RealOEM but can't find any diagrams or part numbers.

Does anyone have any bits or complete setups they would like to sell?

Make my job easier :)

There are three ways to go about it.

The OEM route which is pretty expensive all up.

Needed: Rear bumper carrier, lighting tow module, swan neck tow ball, wiring harness.

This uses rebranded Westfalia parts

The Westfalia route

You can by a full kit for motorsport and non-msport and touring models

Or the Best bars route as glenn suggested was which is fairly cheap however they're not removible and dont look very OEM once installed.
