Work colleague has ordered and waiting for a BMW M240i xDrive Coupe and was asked numerous times if he really wanted the towbar fitting.. which he does….
A word of warning, I’ve a 2018 BMW with an aftermarket towbar that used BMW supplied wiring and was fully coded to the car, but recently I’d a recall on it for the EGR Cooler software and the BMW Dealer was unable to install the software.
They tried it with the towbar wiring disconnected, and it worked – but then couldn’t get it recoded when they connected it back. Removed the software update and the towbar recoded no issue.
Talking to them the chap he reckoned about 10% of recall updates have had this issue, with the majority due to either aftermarket installs of Apple/Android carplay or towbars.
They need to negotiate a towbar in for a factory install IMO.
